Google hopes to improve the quality of image search results by leveraging the power of its massive audience. The newly launched Google Image Labeler is a "game" that allows players to help label the search giant's enormous image collection with the help of a randomly selected partner. During each 90 second round, players will input tags as they are presented with a series of thumbnail images. When a player inputs the same tag as their partner for a particular image, both are awarded points.
