I'm Better Than the Experts at Galaxy Categorization

And so are you. So says Galaxy Zoo, anyway. Sort of.

It's a storehouse of about 250,000 pics of galaxies taken by various observatories around the planet. Apparently, a large group of non-experts can better categorize them than small groups of experts, according to an interview yesterday on BBC Radio news.

Collective intelligence, I'm guessing.
