Random Thoughts

A friend introduced me to Google ImageLabeler .  I think this is just brilliant.  Give it a try but watch out.  It is addictive.  In this free game, you are paired up with another unnamed Googler.  In a two minute game, you are presented a series of images found in Google Images.  Your goal is to type as many descriptive words of the image as possible until you and your partner have typed the same word.  When you match on one word, you are awarded some points and another image.   This may sound trivial but it is actually fun.  What’s more, Google is using your descriptive words as meta data for those images to improve search results.  Very cool.    I scored 1700 points in one two minute session.  How many points did you score?
