I like the format and the content as well, but the domain name and company name seem pretty terrible, if I'm to be honest. Imagine explaining it to a friend or prospective user. "Yeah it's called Taaalk, just go to taaalk.co" "What, talk.co?" "No, you need 3 As." user types 3 more As "Taaaalk.co is giving me a 404." "Sorry, you needed 2 more As, let's start over." "Taalk.co?" "Just google 'talk'. Actually, wait, don't do that..." And for that matter, what is the official pronunciation? "Talk"? Or do you have to elongate the vowel? How long should you elongate it for? Seems like they should decide on a new name before they invest too much into this one.

Or "Yeah it's called Taaalk.co with 3 As"

  Even if you say that, a not insignificant number of users are still probably going to type either taalk.co or taaaalk.co to start with.

    A .co domain costs that much?

Yeah, but who shares URLs with their friends by speech these days? In fact, who really speaks?

I spent AGES trying to choose an easily pronounceable, non ambiguously spelled name for last project as I expected to have to tell people it a lot. A typical conversation goes: "Just go to playlistful.com and..." "Urgh, can't you just send me a link?"
