Google has their way to make people to do the hard work :)
I am a believer of hierarchy-less retrieving - aka tagging. (wow, the terminologies used to occupied my head are all gone). However, I do realize the fact that it's an enormous work to make it usable. But Google has its way quietly put this WORK onto the users.
It is not a new idea to have this type of competition tagging game. I have read it in the research paper. This way, not only there is some sort of consensus of the best tag for the given picture. Also, there is association of tags. AWESOME!
Yes, the hotness of tag has passed... people don't talk about it much any more. However, with google image labeler.. who knows... maybe when they gather enough data, they can push more products out with imagine association feature.

Live Free...
I watched Live Free Die Hard yesterday (July 4th). It's a good and entertaining movie but... in summarizing, I will said - it's a movie combined: Terminator 2 (who even appeared in Live Free & Die hard), AI, and a little bit of True Lies. So what's this mean? Again, showing our dependency of technology will one day bit us back. I have to admit, this is one of my fears. On top of that, I read this new today: http://www.switched.com/2007/07/05/cell-phone-battery-explodes-kills-worker/
Maybe this is more of a common fear we have imagined. Ok... let's give it a test: Imagine there is no internet (not too bad), no cell phone signal (OK), cell battery is dying (getting worse), trying to access the contact book inside the cell phone while battling the last tiny bit of the battery (but the phone still showing the beautiful logo of your provider, worse).... ATM, guarded gates.... OH, the money inside the bank, after all, it's purely my faith in the bank digits(so it doesn't go down). Since when I am a prisoner of the technology? How can I really live free in this world?
Hmmmm, btw, this is at least the 2nd movie I have seen mentioned and sprung off the East Coast block out. Ha. I don't miss being in NY to experience experiences; and yet, I miss it.
