Friday fun: Social media status generator

The advent of social media has created a new source of stress in our lives: the pressure to think up the perfect status update. Generatus.com to the rescue. "How many hours have you wasted trying to think of something suitably witty, funny and original for your status on Facebook or Twitter? Let's face it, a status like 'Dave is mowing the lawn' or 'Kate is asleep' is not going to impress that huge entourage of friends you've amassed." Right on. Get help now.

35 comments:

  1. "Grandma G 's grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She's ninety-seven now, and we don't know where the **** she is."

  18. Congratulations. I love Big Macs. But that probably means you only use one syllable words or something.

  19. Erin isn't worried what people think. They don't do it very often.

  21. Bek is reading other statuses but your status is important to her. Please stay online and your status will be read in priority sequence. Approximate wait time 17 min.

    hehehehe. This is very fun. I also liked the one that told me I didn't believe in reincarnation in my last life either. :)

    oh, ps - My husband writes code for high-end laser printers, so I asked him if he could in fact set it to stun. :D

    Kim usually wakes up grumpy, but sometimes I just let him sleep.

    So fun!!! :) Thanks for finding this time waster!!

  26. I went through a bunch until I found the one I liked--so helpful. Like Ana, I hate those lame status updates. I don't care if you just changed your baby's diaper. I don't care if you want a nap. I don't care if the grocery store didn't have your favorite ice cream. Enough already! I should sent them all over here, but then my secret would be gone.

    thanks!

  27. New follower of your blog. Love your stuff. But just FYI...the status generator generated what seemed to be a very partisan slam against the President.
