Google Image Labeler: New Service/Game from Google?

What is Google Image Labeler? Google describes it as a new feature for its image search, which improves the quality and efficiency of Google image search by allowing users to add tags to randomly selected photos.In detail, Google will "pair" you with another online user, and then display a series of identical images to both of you within 90 seconds. You and your temporary partner will simultaneously add tags to these images (it seems only English tags are allowed; Chinese ones are invalid). Once you and your partner give matching tags (you can provide several, and any one match is enough), you will earn a certain score, and Google will show you the next image. After 90 seconds, Google will display the images you've tagged and the websites from which these images originated, along with the points you earned (it seems that matching one tag earns you 100 points, and the best possible score is eight "O"s).After reading this, do you feel it's quite boring (eight "O"s always feel like being tricked into working for free for 90 seconds, it should be called Google Image Labor instead)? Of course, it's also a good way to practice writing in English based on pictures.
