Google uses game to get good image metadata with Image Labeler

Google's new Image Labeler service is a game that asks you and a random partner somewhere on the Internet to come up with tags to describe an image. The tags you two independently create are applied to the picture. This simple game corrects for many kinds of bogus or poorly thought-out entries (though it will limit the aggregate intelligence of the two raters to the lowest of the two).
