Why would anyone spend thier freetime helping a multi million dollar company tidy up thier mess for free?
Or am I missing something vital here?

Thats a good question
but the thing is that, you are not only helping the multi million dollar company,
but also helping a lot of people uses Google Image search ( Including Me )
to get the correct image results in the top while seraching for Images at Google Search!

Just check the page, and after starting the stuff, you will surely get addicted to that!
They designed the stuff as a game!
If you and your partner give same name, then your points will get increased!
And they will put your name in the list according to your points!

Once you get addicted you will try to score more points friend!
that will pop up your name to the top of the list!

like that Google can also improve the image searching!

Well, although it's a service google is offering and I suppose should improve on their own with their own money.

You have to consider the fact that some or alot of us use this service, so perhaps contributing to improving it and playing a game at the same time is worth it no?

That was the whole idea behind it in the first place, I saw one of the presentation videos and the guy makes it pretty clear as to the games purpose. You can pay for something like WoW or if you got bored here and there you can play the Google game for free and at the same time help improve their services (which you and others might just happen to use).

Sounds like a fairly good deal to me? If normal games we see today could contribute like that how good would it be, besides the price tag, I think they'd morally have to drop it .

2. Google Web Accelerator - Another bad one (11)

   Google had just published another new service, it is called google web accelerator, it's an
   accelerator for your web surfing, so you can save time surfing the internet, it looks a very great
   service when you look at it generally, but for the first time google made a very bad service, it
   does nothing new than the old accelerators, to make it appears like a very good brand service they

   After a LONG wait, Google finally has managed to round-up it's online office suite by adding in

   refered to as Google Presentation. Features Microsoft PowerPoint files less than 10 MB can be
   imported and exports take the shape of HTML files with images. Themes and layouts of slides can be

8. Searchmash - A New Search Engine - Powered by Google (8)

   Just when you thought that Google is running out of ideas for their products, something unexpected
   was introduced - a new search engine! I am sure everyone is confused - why would Google make such a
   move when they already have the most popular search engine in the world (Yahoo! fans, face the
   truth)? The answer is actually quite simple - but this is just my opinion - innovation. Even though
   it is so widely used, we must admin that Google's search engine is a bit old-fashioned.
   Unfortunately, they can't just upgrade it all of a sudden, as I am sure it would annoy...

    at least not to a degree that can be called phenomenal. While smaller words / phrases / sentences
    translate fine, the translator engines perform rather pathetically when it comes to large chunks of
