I always get the one that is like "select all of the storefronts" and I screw it up consistently. I end up having to go through like 20 pictures before I'm verified because I choose things that look, to me, like storefronts but, apparently, aren't?
All the while feeling as if you are part of a massive unpaid labour force training Google's optical recognition algorithms and adding and verifying Google Streetview metadata (e.g., “select all images containing street signs/store fronts/lakes”).

Oh we definitely are. Best way to get this kind of information into a database is by socially engineered human map-reduce.
