Google Image Labeler

Google has launched a little game called the Google Image Labeler. In it, you help Google tag all the images in its Image Search database by pairing with a random person. You are both shown a random image and asked to submit labels, or tags, for the image. Once you both use the same tag, it is accepted and you move on to the next image. You can also choose to pass on an image if it isn't working out. The game is an interesting idea, to say the least. Google has a huge image index, and images are notoriously hard on machines, so any means of helping catalog them is a good thing. Check out John Battelle's commentary.
