Image Tagging Timepass

Don't feel like working? Never able to find graphics you are looking for in Google's image search? Purrfekt! Go right here to waste your time! Google seems to be getting a difficult image processing task done for free, with eager enthusiasts willing to waste time and energy in labeling images. Where is the need to develop cutting edge algorithms that identify objects within images and tag them, when you have millions of idle human brains at your disposal.

The concept is novel to say the least. You are paired with a random unknown partner, and both of you are shown a common image. You are supposed to type out whatever occurs to you when you see the image, and if any of these words match, the image is tagged with that label. Pretty safe and effective. Try it for yourself, its fun.

I still don't know what I'm supposed to do with the points I've earned though.. Can I exchange them for lifesavers... anyone??
