Human Computation September 2nd 2006, ricardo
Today Madgoblin sent me a link to a video of Luis Von Ahn Speech at Google engEDU. The speech is quite interesting, it shows how sometimes you can solve big technical problems using bored humans minds (which there are billions!). He explains the concept of all of his games: ESP game, PeekaBoom, ... And hey, what a clever guy! Now I can't stop my mind trying to see how to apply this concept to other areas.

Also, looks like Google liked the concept and 'ripped' the ESP game for his brand new Google Image Labeler.

Hmm...
