I was randomly browsing the web when I came across this video. This is a very dynamic and funny talk given by Luis von Ahn showing how the processing power of a human brain can be used to improve image search on the web by playing fun games (ESP game and Peekaboom).

This brilliant idea is currently used in Google image labeler.
