Google Image Labeler

Want to help improve Google Image searching? Go tag pictures. You’re matched up with someone else, and if you agree on a tag, it’s placed on the image, and you get points. Points for the day and all-time points are tracked if you have a Google Account.

In the session I just went through, I was paired both with people who were fairly creative in describing what they saw, and those who had no clue whatsoever. The points I least liked losing were the ones for a screencap of a first-person shooter game: the other user got “first-person”, but had a different noun.
