While the Web 2.0 promotes and facilitates the contributions of Web users on content, there's a substantial lack of user involvement in Web design issues. This paper builds on the idea of "games with a purpose" to propose a class of games to help designers in choosing graphical elements for user interfaces, with the contribution of millions gamers. We have implemented a game prototype and made a user test. Preliminary results suggest the viability of this approach involving social network users in a telecenter context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
