Google Image Labeler
“Welcome to Google Image Labeler, a new feature of Google Image Search that allows you to label random images to help improve the quality of Google’s image search results.”
This is Google’s latest feeble attempt at making all of life googlable. It’s a rather silly game where you and an Internet bud are shown the same set of images at the same time and are asked to come up with as many labels as you can in 90”.

google’s image labeler is derived from dr. luis van ahn’s recent doctoral dissertation at carnegie mellon.
van ahn, who also invented captchas (used to control comments in this very blog), is the most innovative and imaginative computer scientist in a generation.
by harnessing idle human cycles, this purposeful game will succeed—at essentially no cost and in very little time—in attaching keywords to virtually all google images, vastly improving their searchability.
feeble? hardly! it’s brilliant!
