Google Image Labeler

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Google, Internet, PC / Laptop, Head To Head

googlelogo“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”. When your label matches his/her label you move on to the next one until time runs out. If that isn’t foolish enough for you, you can collect brownie points for each session that you play and even visit the original sources of the images.

Comments:

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!

this thing is addicting.

Prof. van Ahn was awarded the MacArthur “genius” prize yesterday.
