Google has come up with a very nice game that will help them label images. You need to type in a label for an image they show you. Another person (your partner) also types in words that describe the image. If they match you get points.

It's extremely fun, but very addicting so beware!

Google Image Labeler Game

Hey, that's pretty cool..wish the images shown had been a wee bigger. I could see where this could get addicting fast.

Yup. The image size is a bit of a problem most of the time. Although I think they might have a problem showing larger images, because then they will be wasting the site where the image is from's bandwidth.

Ya'll got's to try this!!

~runs off to go play again~

Highest score I managed to get with a partner was 1100. Darn, can't seem to top that!

Seems like this game could cause some...errors in the searches? There will always be the few who put in random nonsense...though it's fun. :)

The beauty of this system is that it's extremely simple from the user's perspective, but extremely complex from the perspective of the algorithm it's running to catalog the labels of the images. The firs tier is that a label needs to be verified by another person (your partner) in order to even be considered. Now even if you type in an extremely generic label, it still has to be relevant to the image itself.

Secondly the same image is repeated multiple times to multiple pairs of partners. Those partners get to either confirm or enhance the labels already entered. Pretty neat, if you ask me.

Ingenious, I say.

I just tried it...it's addicting.

i only got 200 -_-
that person that got that top score omg >_>

most i've got in my 10ish tries is 900x2.

I kept getting the same partner i think...
