Google Image Labeler uses a ESP game that makes this otherwise enormous task an interesting and much quicker and more importantly combines machine and human intelligence.
Basically, you will be paired with an anonymous partner and guess label for random images and you score when there is a label match (you won't know who the partner is and what s/he has guessed.

Within one year, google will be sending out checks to the top 1,000 or so players.
Here is an interesting presentation for 'Human Computation'
