Google Image Labeler
News Details
Google has found a way to have you help them make their image searching service better and have fun doing it.
You just pick a username (be sure to pick one, that way if you and another PJer get joined together, you can brag about how good you guys are, or find out how dumb someone can be
), then hit start... It then searches for somebody else who is also waiting. Once someone is found, the game begins... You have 90 seconds to guess keywords for the image that your partner has guessed. Each image is worth 100 points.
I have made it to 1300 points, can anyone do better? (TIP: guess the obvious first... If its a picture of some guy, then guess guy/man and so on)

The use for Google is quite clear. They add the matching taggs to the picture. You do the work. Google gets the profit. So:In a concerted mission, people can make use (or fun) of it, too: Let's tag every picture with George Bush in it with "idiot" from now on. Maybe, if enough people do so, in a few months, you'll find pictures of GB over and over when looking for "idiot".
Most important: Spread the word!

huggkruka, people dont type people for everything, just pictures that have PEOPLE. and just because one team says people, doesnt mean another will. besides, what one team says has little bearing. this is just to assist in googles patterns system when searching.

A lot of the pictures are people though. When I went on it, if there was a picture with more than one person in it, I put "people" first.

So, when you search for "people" you'll get totally unrelated results because everyone types "people" every round to get max scores? Go Google!

there is a sign in link in the top right corner... then get a google account. a good thing to have anyways if you use google cause it has a search history and such.

That was pretty coo'. I don't get how to enter a nickname, though.

Heck YES I can do better. I just went at it with someone named "slut"
I just took the cake and made it have babies, that's what I did.
