plasticbag : Last.fm have a gorgeous new app for doing audio fingerprinting to sort out the metadata around music - The double-translation of similar track names to audio fingerprints is a bloody fascinating way to get good solid real-world identifiers around objects like songs. I'm installing it immediately.

Andy Baio : Flickr quietly launches machine tag support - the possibilities here are kinda mind-bending
kellan : Machine Tags: They live! They live! - Machine Tags: They live! They live!. Machine tags are not RDF. But they could play RDF on television. #
Simon Willison : Flickr Machine Tags - Flickr Machine Tags. A new feature for API developers that lets them stuff arbritrary namespaced key/value pairs in to tags and query them using the API. Even without range queries, this will enable a ton of exciting new third party developments.
plasticbag : Flickr's introduced the concept of machine tags for everyone to start playing with - Ooh. Classy. Nice. All kinds of things can be built off the back of this.

Andy Baio : Google Image Labeler, the Google Images multiplayer game - Luis von Ahn's ESP Game now officially part of Image Search; see also, his excellent Tech Talk at Google
plasticbag : Google Image Labeler - Basically it's the ESP game from a few years ago, only now actually being used (presumably under license) by Google. Interesting.
philgyford : Google Image Labeler - I'm trying not to let this useful game eat up all of my time, although it's getting a fair amount of it.
