When just opening Google on my phone, I saw they are leveraging their user base again to label images and translate words. Looked pretty gamified with points you could score etc, named "Wortmeister".

I wonder if that part of data mining or collecting labeled training data hasn't been completed from the early captcha and recaptcha years already? Filling up the gaps? Verifying the status quo? Maybe they test adoption to implement other content types?

Any ideas?

Edit: just found out it has been around for quite some time.

However I leave my thoughts here in case someone else is confronted with it for the first time ever, just like me.

Hey everyone,

The more I see LinkedIn getting filled up with useless pr spam and overly relatable nonsense, everyone mass-adding later sales prospects via duxsoup etc, I wonder if there can't be a place, that's focused singularly on ones skills and current activity/mission. Without all the cherry picked history of past projects and jobs.

I would love to have a place where I can really find people for certain skills or be informed about their current path. I don't care who has worked for whom, every now and then I just need someone to get a certain job done or that's heading in a certain direction to board ship together.

I feel like the social graph of networks like LinkedIn incentivices streamlined and exaggerated public CVs and bs posts way too much.

Am I the only one?

Best, Thorsten
