傲文世界

有时候你可能会无意中碰到一些你不怎么弄得明白的东西。比如一只狗到底是什么品种；一辆驰骋在马路上的车到底是什么品牌，那年产的；等等。

现在好了，你只要用iPhone将其拍下来，然后上传到idthis网站（我把它翻译为识图网，老马识途嘛），这里就会有很多人为你识别这个图，并能给出答案，而且还会进行投票，看那张图最好。你甚至可以将这张图的信息通过链接和Twitter传递给你的好友，让他们也加入进来识图，有意思吧？

idthis（识图网）应该说是一家网站，但也是一个iPhone的第三方应用系统。概念本身很简单，但应用可能会非常广泛，游戏性也很强（比如你可以把图故意弄得模糊一些，让朋友们费尽心思地猜）。但要注意猥亵的图片是会被网站拒绝的，你当然也可能会被踢出这个社区。

对于一张照片或者图，每个人都可以提供答案，而对答案进行的投票达到5个，这张图就算正式被识别了。可能还有更有趣的事情发生，朋友们不妨一访。来源

idthis Photo With A Little Help From Your Friends

by Erick Schonfeld on September 2, 2009

Sometimes you come across something and don’t know exactly what it is. What if you could snap a photo on your iPhone, upload it to a site where people can submit answers and vote on the best ones, and send out a link to everyone you know on Twitter to get them to weigh in? That basically describes idthis, a simple site developed by Billy Chasen, who previously created chartbeat (which I covered here) and firef.ly for betaworks.

With idthis, which is both a Website and an iPhone app (iTunes link), the concept is pretty simple, but I can see it going in different directions. One is a simple utility. You see an old BMW convertible on the street and want to know what year it is. Send a photo to idthis. It could also be a way to play visual games. Take a closeup of an object or make it slightly blurry and see who can guess what it is first. (Obscene photos will be taken down and can be flagged by the community).

The instructions on the site state:

Just snap a photo of something you’d like identified (like a breed of dog, a type of car, that weird gelatinous blob sitting on your plate, or even that celebrity sitting next to you that you can’t remember their name, etc…) and then send it to be identified.

Anyone can submit an answer. Once an answer gets five votes, the picture becomes officially identified (you can change the number of votes required to identify a picture when you submit it). Here’s one I put up. See if you guys can guess what it is.
