Crowdsourcing is a relatively new term coined by Jeff camiseta atletico de madrid 2012 Howe and it refers to taking tasks traditionally performed by an employee or contractor, and outsourcing them to a group of people or community ?a crowd. Projects that have been carried out so far have been very successful and prove the great power of the crowd. CrowdsourcingPower has started a business based on this concept, giving any individual the possibility to earn extra money working on a data base.

In this article, I will presnet the ESP Game, which is a brilliant idea and a great example of a successful crowdsourcing project.

The ESP Game was launched in 2004 and it gets people to label images as a side-effect of playing a game. The image labels can be used to improve image search on the Web. The game was created by Luis von Ahn from Carnegie Mellon University. Google bought a license to create its own version of the game in 2006. The Google version is known as Google Image Labeler.

In the ESP game two partners who don’t know each other are camiseta atletico de madrid 2012 paired up and asked to agree on a word that would be an appropriate label for an image that they both see. The two partners cannot communicate. They both enter possible words, and once a word is entered by both partners (not necessarily at camiseta atletico de madrid 2012 the same time), that word is agreed upon and becomes a label for the image. The game encourages the players to assign “obvious” labels, for the two partners to come to an agreement in the shortest possible time.
