It's one thing to write a Wikipedia article but I would only tag and rank sites in self-interest. A neat and playful alternative for getting people to tag comes once again from idea forge Google: in the <a href="http://images.google.com/imagelabeler/">Image Labeler</a> you get connected to a randomly selected other user in real time. Then you will see a series of pictures and have to try to find the same term for each of them as your partner - in a certain time. For every successfully tagged picture you get points and at the end you see a ranking. As simple as this is, it's really fun! Unfortunately only in English. http://simon.bloody-byte.net:8080/en/2007/04/09/1176150420000.html#comments http://simon.bloody-byte.net:8080/en/2007/04/09/1176150420000.html Mon, 09 Apr 2007 20:27:00 GMT
