Stuck for a Status? Try Generatus - Time Waster


Have you been busy scheduling all those Tweets using Twuffer and FutureTweets? No, me neither: but if you're looking for snark, wit or paraphrases of well-known movie quotes to use in your Twitter stream in an attempt to out-humor our very own Mr Funny, then you may want to have a bit of fun with Generatus.

Enter a couple of particulars [namely, your name and select 'Boy or Girl'], hit generate and before your very eyes a status suitable for Twitter or Facebook is made for you. There's also the ability to filter by tag [for example 'Monty Python' or 'Movies' or 'Manias'] and an absolute bucketload of hilarious, ironic and generally very excellent phrases that you could be assigned, should you have the urge to press refresh a few [dozen] times.

The only oversight with Generatus seems to be that, unlike most webservices, it lacks an API. Twuffer, combined with the hilarity of Generatus would make for an epic all-singing, all-dancing autonomous Twitter bot that would allow you to never once tweet into awkward, unfunny silence again.

OK, so maybe I'm kidding when I say I'd prefer to read tweets from Generatus all-day: but very seriously, if you're looking for a little bit of laughter, and want to lose a few minutes of your day, Generatus is an excellent Time Waster.
