Google Image Labeler

, , , ...

Google's Image Labeler is a sneaky way of using the Google userbase as a distributed network of volunteers to identify the content of images by disguising the process as a game. You are paired up with someone else & you are both shown an image & you have to type in as many relevant labels as possible until you & your partner come up with a match, each match is assigned a score depending on how obscure the matching term is. With each match you get a new image to tag & at the end of 2 minutes you get a total score. It is surprisingly addictive. Although I think it would be nice to be able to send a message to your anonymous partner at the end of the round. For example I'd like to know why my partner didn't tag a picture of Richard Dean Anderson with Macguyver or Stargate?!?!

My best score so far is 1090.
