A cool flash based typing app that calculates how fast you type. When I was in university I hit 70wpm in my touch typing class, I wonder how I would compare now. [Link]
update: I just hit 66wpm but I am lying down on my couch watching Rush Hour 3 (which sucks btw) and typing on my unconventional MacBook keyboard. I am sure I could easily hit 70+ while sitting at my desk typing on a regular keyboard.

I’ve done like 43 exercises so far
Wow it felt so easy typing the sentence above ^ 😛
Some funky-ass words, this is completely not what I expected for a typing exercise 😛
According to my chart:
43 exercises, top speed: 78, average speed: 56
It’s tricky because you only type with a set of keys rather than all of them…and your brain tricks you into typing a word close to the one you’re typing, that’s why it gets easier as you reach lesson 2 then 3.
Anyways, “Adopfailia”‘s and “Ffiguishio”‘s to you all! 😛
This is a useless test because it’s not giving you real words to type.
Words like AGLABANGO don’t exist, and never will.
A real and useful test will give you sentences to copy.
Much more useful for all you typing geeks:

how many fingers do you use!
Get competitive and you’ll make typing an olympic sport.
This is a test I don’t want to excell at, more like be average. If I’m too good, I’m a loser who has no life. If I’m too bad, I’m a caveman who should carve on rocks.
rush hour 3 sucks ass
dude im so sorry but that is geeky !! you actually went to a school to teach you how to type ? man sorry !
it was a university requirement. I had another course on how to use the library..
82 words per minute, no errors.
Just takes practice.
I can hit 100+ when I’m typing real words. It’s actually much harder for me to type these fake words. I did better in lesson 3 (98) than I did in lesson 1 (~50).
I’mma try it out!!!!

I agree with manish. Seriously Mark, your blog is addictive!
I tried keybr.com but it wouldn’t work. I click on “PAUSE, click to continue” but nothing happens. At first I thought it was because I’m running Linux but now I tried it at work with XP, it still won’t work 🙁
