I thought about that, but I couldn't figgure out a good way to work it
into the game. I think that if people are typing keywords without
knowing what the current ones are, then the best keywords will
eventually bubble to the top of the list. That's assuming a count was
kept of how many times each keyword was entered.

I don't know how many people would have to play the game to cause that
to happen though...

Maybe after the game, the user could see a results page with all the
cliparts they viewed, and all the tags for them. They could then have
an oportunity to disagree with any tags presented.

Example:
After the game, I view my results and see that "circle" was one of the
tags for the dartboard. I could flag it as wrong since it's not an
obvious tag for a dartboard. If circle were flagged as wrong a certain
number of times, it would be dropped from the tags list.

I've just finished homework, and it's late, so I hope that makes sense.
