Google Image Labeler – Game or Tool??
Google Webmasters Tools, offers an array of tools for webmasters. One such feature is the “Enhanced Image Search” feature. This is one of the tools used by Google to help name images on your site and improve indexing. The “Google Image Labeler” is actually a clever creation which partners people and displays the same images to them at the same time, during this time both people are asked to name or label the image.

Once a label match is detected, Google rates the image and it is replaced with another. This is all done on a 00:01:30 timer. At the end you can see all of the images and what labels your partner typed. However, after a few times, it becomes clear, that is more fun to try and match as many labels with your partner as possible in the given time than it is to think about all of the possible names for an image. Still, this is another example of the innovative thinking at Google.
