Here’s a real good site to put your typing skills to a test. How Typeracer works is, you are represented as a car, competing against other cars (other users) and how fast you guys can reach the finishing point depends on how fast you can type. You’ll need to finish up the provided sentence with totally no mistake at all.
If you are not interested in competing against other players, you can brush up your typing skills by practicing alone. The best typer so far on the hall of fame is capable of typing 220 words per minutes, now that’s really fast.

Typeracer is also an Orkut app, which is the biggest social networking site here in India. Its a pretty nice tool.
Also I wrote a post about why its important to have good touch tyoing. Not spamming but I think this could be useful too: http://www.jeetblog.com/touch-typing-importance-and-tools/

@Lim CS Told ya it can be addictive :-)
Reply@Ramy You dutch? I hate all the symbols involved, just plan text would make it faster.
Ramy May 2nd, 2008
Dutch hasn’t really symbols… I think you’re thinking of Swedish or something. We just have the same symbols and characters as in English.
Btw, I’m not really Dutch, but my parents came here before I was born, so, I’ve been living here for my whole life.
