Google has released an interesting new game called “Image Labeler.” Basically, they pair you up with a random partner somewhere in the world. You and your partner both look at an image and think of as many descriptive words as you can. Once you both offer the same label, you are shown the next image. For each image you finish, you get one hundred points. You are shown the scores of other teams so you can see how you are doing.

Obviously, the reason they are doing this is so that their Image Search is more accurate. Basically, they are building on the fact that if two complete stranges say the same thing about the same photo, there is a pretty good chance that it is correct.

I played this game for a little bit today. First, it’s kind of fun. And second, in the long run it will help you find images when you need them.

Give it a try here. What’s your best score? (I could only get to 600.)
