Google has finally come out with a practical solution to properly categorize their millions of images from various sites. The project is called Google Image Labeler. Google says this about Labeler

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.

The basic Idea behind this is that if two unknown individuals think about the same keyword (label) after seeing an Image then it is a verbal description of the Image (or a label – in plain terms). All you need to do is got to http://images.google.com/imagelabeler and start playing. You can either sign in with your Google account and pick a Nick Name or participate as a guest. You are paired with an unknown partner who is also online and you both are shown a picture which you need to add labels. If you and your partner puts the same label then each gets 100 points and are shown another image. You need to do this in a 90 second time frame. After this you are shown the score (if you have signed in then your scores are cumulated). This is really funny to play if you have got no Job (lots of time), a fast Internet Connection and good typing speed. And in the mean time Google gets its Images labeled for FREE.
