Trouble coming up with a witty/original status? Generatus can help.

Generatus

I've consulted with a fair number of individuals and businesses about social media. More often than not, they ask about content creation. It is, after all, the hardest thing about social media. And with status updates like, "These chips are good," and "Now laying on my stomach," universally shunned in the social sphere, the pressure is on to come up with something witty/original to share on Facebook or Twitter.

Enter Generatus.

Generatus is a free way to generate status updates which, hopefully, won't cause your friends/followers to organize a mass exodus. Just enter your name and select your gender. Generatus then creates status updates until you find one you like. You can also add tags to stick with something you're interested in (movie quotes, insults, self-deprecation, etc.).

Whimsical. Timely. Somewhat useful. This has the potential to be viral.
