One of the most addictive games on the web now comes from Google as well. It’s called Google Image Labeler, and the object is quite simple. Log in, and pair up with another anonymous player.
Then when you’ve been paired up, images will begin to appear. The object of the game is to “tag” or identify the image using the same word as your partner in order to score points. It’s an extremely addictive and fun game, that both Miss Possible and I have found quite enjoyable.
The “game” helps improve Google’s ability to add metadata to images, allowing them to be more accurate with image searches. My only complaint is that you’re unable to choose who your partner is. Often, due to my mad typing skillz, I’ll be paired up with someone who types 5 wpm. So, I’ll have listed 5-7 words, while my partner has only guess once or twice.
