New From Google: Google Image Labeller

[Beaver6813]

"Welcome to Google Image Labeler, a new feature of Google Image Search that allows you to label random images to help improve the quality of Google's image search results." This is the new tagger that they had in mind!

Taken from digg.com just a few minutes ago, a lot of fun and you're helping sort out the image rankings!

How have you made money from it? I don't see how it's possible.

Cool tool though.

set labels for adult related content, products, etc. Easy money right now!

[billyzelsnack]

I am dumb. I still don't get how you can make money from this.

[Zapita]

the images are really small, sometimes i can't really tell anything about the image

[Beaver6813]

Yea, ive been playing it for about 30min now. Its good apart from the small images which you have to pass on. And because you want to get the highest score you end up just putting really generic words to describe the picture, like "family".

Yeah, I don't get how this makes you money???

How long did it take you to earn $340?

[dsr771]

What are the google points used for?

[Dabs]

All I get are points. How do you get dollars? It says "not redeemable."

And how did you earn any money at all?

[hav0c]

I didn't see any money mentioned anywhere. In a way it reminds me of Amazons MTurk by identifying pictures except for using a partner and for not getting paid.

Close...techdirt had an article on this yesterday I believe --

http://techdirt.com/articles/20060901/164218.shtml

Google stole the idea basically from someone who did a "tech talk" at the 'Plex to make G Images better.

[PhilG]

I played with it. Its actually quite fun. Although i would have fun if i could figure how to make money out of it.

Anyone got any more info on make money?

[Bundy]

Brilliant move!
Why to get stuck with labeling images’ database.
Let users do it

[Darkhodge]

Can you actually make any money off this at all???

[mad4]

Its not possible to earn money from this. The guy must be joking.

[Darkhodge]

Thought so - thanks for clarifying the fact though

When you login you get to re-name yourself. Name yourself the name of your site, and become the top namer.

However, since I last posted, they now banned the text ".com" so I guess I'll have to think of a work around..

anyways.. people see you rank high and go to your site.
