Help google out, would ya?

Looks like Google has a beta tester out there to help improve their image search - Google Image Labeler. Looks like a neat little game that allows you - when paired up with an anonymous partner - to help them identify photos with the first thing you think about when you see the picture.

You and your partner get 100 for each match, and Google keeps track of your score. My high so far is ten right answers in one ninety-second time period, but the cooler thing to me is that Google is letting people play a game that happens to help their business out tremendously. It's an ingenious bit of crowdsourcing.

So, feel free to curse the awesomeness that is google or to help them out a little bit.
