Google Image Labeler

I really enjoyed the video we watched! It made me think about all the ways I use google images. Since I print Critter Magazine I "borrow" images from google all the time (as long as they don't have a water mark). Once I thought about it I realized that I started to get the hang of what to look for in certain images to find the appropriate pictures for what I was trying to accomplish. For example: When I'm designing an ad we have 0 budget to purchase photos so we scour google to find images that will work for ads for a customer, once I find one that is 300 dpi and then try it out in the ad then see what our sponsor thinks. I also use images for pictures of animals and for stories that display what the story is about when I have nothing to use. 

The link I was trying to click on to play the google image game won't work so I tried out the ESP game. It is actually really fun and there is a sense of excitement when my partner and I would come up with the same word. I found I did better with certain partners than others. 

I really enjoyed the lecture and how this guy has gotten people to work for him for free by just playing a game. I went back and edited my tags to better match my interestes. I added non-profit, ASU, mountains, technology and Critter Magazine.
