Link of the Day: Generatus

I don’t want you to click on today’s link. I want you to know about it, so you can join me in lamenting the fact that it exists, but I don’t want you to click on it. Why? Because Generatus is a website that generates “funny” status updates for your social networking profiles, for the times when you can’t think of anything clever yourself.

I call hackery! What kind of people would use a site like this often enough to justify its existence? If you’ve got nothing to say, then why not just say nothing? Whatever happened to going outside or doing something else?

Besides, here are the first three statuses I got when I gave Geeratus a try:

“Matt drives far too fast to worry about cholesterol!”

“Matt doesn’t have issues – he has volumes!!”

“Matt is inventing an inflatable dartboard”

Come on, guys. You’re better than this. Write your own status updates, okay? And if you don’t have anything clever to say, then just come back when you do. Your friends and online acquaintances will thank you.
