Caching, and Google Image Labeller.

October 26th, 2006

I noticed 1983 was getting a tad slow on server responses, whether this is because of WordPress or traffic I don’t know. I’ve implemented this nifty little plugin called WP-Cache 2. Don’t know if it works, but hey lets give it a go!

Also stumbled upon this big ass timewaster called Google Image Labeller.

You pair up with another random person whos online at the site (or you can create an account if you’re really keen…) and play this mini game in which you define or label keywords for images on Google - in essence improving Google’s Image Search.

Shouldn’t they be offering a prize or something for the top scorers? You’re basically unknowingly working for Google, for free, albeit improving your ego if you’re Top 5 on the All Time Ranking. I’m surprised they don’t have Adsense blocks around the whole thing. In a sense, it’s how Google has become so accurate with their searches, but with images they can’t use autonomy to detect what the image is. Is this the ultimate sneaky solution?

Anyway, quite addictive nonetheless…
