Perhaps the feedback loop they need is to make the points earned
inversely proportional to the commonality of the keyword.  I.e., if you
and your partner agreed on keyword no one else has yet proposed, like
maybe "Diane Lane", you'd get VERYBIG/1 points, but if you matched on
"woman", then you'd get VERYBIG/VERYBIG points.  This way, just getting
one good keyword match for one image in the 90 sec would be worth as
much or more as getting a whole bunch of poor matches for a whole bunch
of images.
