Firstly, i must confess something. Although this is my mid-term week, I can't stop playing this label game. That is both fun and profitable for improving vocabulary and intellectual knowledge. So thank you Sonja, for sharing it with us.

While Sonja was describing this game to us. I remembered one of my memories.

While i was visiting M.I.T at Boston 4 years ago, there were some students at the corner, doing something. While we were speaking Turkish, one of this students look at us and started to talk with us Turkish. He was also Turkish student at M.I.T and doing this project for gaining extra-credit.

Their project was this, and they were doing it with Google;

You are taking a picture and sending to Google. For example while you were walking around Sabancı University at first time and wondered about tower of our campus. You are sending it's picture to Google. They are describing

what is it?,
for what we are using it? ,
when did it build? etc.

And this students was the people who were writing this answers! In other words, they were labelling ^^

So this is another profitable kind of google image labelling! ^^
