It normally takes a long time for me to find a good domain by checking thru a domain names registrar. I'll have to type it in, and then wait till the page loads up to know whether the domain is available. That should take at least few seconds for each query.

Although it only can check availability for .com and .net domains, it's already very sufficient for a normal user like me.

We have to wait to see what Yahoo is going to do with it. If you have never heard of del.icio.us, do head over to learn about their tagging service which is simple but cool. I guess most of the bloggers should had known about it.

For the moment, I don't see that it's useful as most of my pals have not migrated to Google Talk yet, though I admire the simplicity of the interface. In addition, Gtalkr is neither a Google's service nor affiliated to Google. So, try at your own risk! To know more about Gtalkr, Om Malik has a very good review on it.

Update: It seems like the service is not available anymore. I suggest you use your Gmail to chat online. (Thanks, Gonzalo)

Update: Google has a new online Google Talk service for this purpose.
