Google Image Labeler
Google has released a new service called Google Image Labeler. The new service serves users more as a game then a useful tool, but in the end, the service helps Google to organize and label images much more efficiently.
How does Google Image Labeler work?
Google Image Labeler pairs two users together then shows both users an image. Both users are expected to then add a label(s) to the image. The twist to the service is that it is set up as a game. When you apply a label to an image that matches your partner, you receive a point. Points are then added up and if you scored a high enough score, then your name will appear on the Google Image Labeler website. Don’t worry if you don’t have a Google account, users who don’t have an account, or would like to stay anonymous, can still use the service as a guest.
Ultimately, Google Image Labeler is a new technique that Google is trying out to better categorize and label images. By making the whole processes into a sort of game, many people, especially those board at work, will participate in the service.
