I am not sure, but I would guess that domain names like "flicker" and "zoomer" were already taken, so people figured out they could use just "r" instead of "er" and still have a catchy domain name that was available for registration. That's just a guess tho! Maybe we can talk the people at Talkr into using a voice that gets more enthusiastic from time to time! :-) Thanks David, you are kind.

It really isn't too bad, however "she" doesn't seem to have quite the exhilaration you have. Wes you now have a new persona! Also, any idea where the Web 2.0 spelling came about with dropping the last E before R ? ie. Flickr, Zoomr, Uploadr, Talkr, etc. My first question that came to mind about Talkr was…How digitized will the text to speech sound?
