A group of scientists studying whale calls has started a website where the average internet user uses two of their most powerful senses--sight and, more importantly, hearing-- to help the scientists match calls between different whale family groups. There is a large range of calls, and while many sound similar, I found picking out the changes in inflection at the beginning and end of the calls to be a fun challenge. It's also a nice way for people who don't typically get to participate in scientific endeavors to join in the fun.
Crowdsourcing FTW! I would recommend reading the tutorial as it offers a lot of interesting information and some good tips for improving accuracy.
