    Duolingo's premise is quite simple. How do you get people to translate the web for free? Their answer is to turn it into an experience that is part game, part language instruction, and all ambitious crowdsourcing.

    I have a friend who wangled an invitation to Duolingo, and she loves it. If I wasn't at library school, and had a life, I'd play with it too. Here's a TED talk about Duolingo and CAPTCHA http://www.ted.com/talks/luis_von_ahn_massive_scale_online_collaboration.html

    Yeah, I managed to get on the program. It's fun; feels like I'm playing a game.
