The idea is that you help Google identify random images by providing a label for them.
The way it works is you are paired with an anonomous partner and for 90 seconds you are shown images and you type in what you see. You cannot see what your partner is typing. If you both enter the same word then the image is labeled and you move on to the next image, if you can't come up with the same thing you can request to pass. At the end of the time limit you can see what your partner's labels were.
It's a neat idea and it feels a bit like a game. One thing I've noticed though is it seems to produce very generic results. Labels often end up being things like "man", "sky", "boat", "mountain", "woman", "plant", and so on when we know they could more accurately be things like "Engelbert_Humperdinck", "aurora borealis", "friggate", "Mount Fuji", "Anne_Hathaway", "Agave", and other more detailed labels if only you and your partner both knew what Engelbert_Humperdinck looked like.

i had one`with trent reznor & could not for the life of me figure out how my partner & i weren't matching up. turns out one of their guesses was "talk to the hand" (his hand happened to be up). bullshite!

I had to laugh when my partner and I actually labeled an image as "item" after we had reached around seven or eight guesses. It was some sort of pressure gauge looking device in a clear package. The picture resolution is so small sometimes you can't tell what you're looking at.

This is strangely entertaining, I must admit. One picture was of an ambiguous text document. My partner suggested "raisin" as a descriptor. Hmmmm.
