A while ago we looked at a really amazing game called PeekaBoom. In the game two people are revealing an image to each other and the magic is that the game itself is learning about pictures based on the input from the humans. Really cool.

Well here is a talk that the creator made at Google, and its all about how using Humans to perform computation can be the wave of the future. Its really awesome.

Seriously.. click it on.. and listen to it if nothing else. Its a fascinating talk on how human computation and gameplaying can yield valuable data.
