    "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!

    yup, I've managed to make almost $340 from labeller so far. I think it's going to be swamped with other marketers soon.. and im sure goog will find a way to stop us :D

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

    Cool tool though.

    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".

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

    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.

    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.
