Pit your kungfu typing skills and speed against others

So you think your drunken monkey typing speed style is superior to my spinning chicken typing style? Test your typing speed and accuracy against random people on the net in real time.

Typeracer.com is another time wasting game that lets your test your typing speed and accuracy against others.

After entering your name, you are at a starting line where several random individuals whom you will race against will automatically show up. Once you begin, a quote or movie snippet is displayed to be typed as fast and accurately as possible, if you mistype, you have to backspace and correct before continuing. A pressure building visual of cars plodding across the screen assesses your place among the others during the game.

Its fun, and can be addicting if your typing skills are of par with other racers. If you still look at the keyboard to find the letter ‘q’ you’ll soon be frustrated.

Average speed: 63wpm. Hiii-ya!
