For its submission pages like http://www.google.com/addurl/ or http://www.google.com.au/addurl/, you need to key in the squiggly letters manually everytime.

I wonder how those programs that automate the task of submitting your site to google are going to do.

In addition, once you submit, it takes time before google indexes your site. It will usually come by for a topical crawl, and return later for a deeper crawl.
