Galaxy Zoo
Another well established project where viewers look at various pictures of galaxies and help classify them.
Pro: Site is straightforward, consistent, easy to navigate. You can immediately start classifying and creating a login is optional if you want to keep track of your work.
Con: Not much information is given about why this work is important. What is the point of classification and how can the viewers feel like they are working for a bigger cause, no sense of reward/followup
