  • Just for fun?

    Google Image Labeler launched today. It’s a game, based on Luis von Ahn’s ESP Game, that puts two random users together and asks them to label/tag an image. The idea is that if two people come up with the same label, it is probably a good one and will make Google’s image search better.

    What a clever game.  It provides fun for the participants (yes, I tried it and found it interesting, amusing, and engaging) while it improves Google's search and thus potentially makes Google more $$$.  Hence, if you hate Google, don't play.  Or play 'bad' and hope you match up well with some other deranged Google-hater.
