Do you sometimes struggle to think up witty status updates for your favorite social networking sites?  Are your status updates getting a little boring and predictable?  Generatus.com is a website that generates fun and clever status updates for Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites.  According to Generatus:

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.  Never fear!  Your days of boring status updates are over…  You will be served up a brand new, sparkly status all ready to be copied and pasted into Facebook, Twitter or whichever social networking site you like best.

You can generate a shiny new status simply by entering your name, indicating your gender, and clicking “generate.”  For a more specific status you can fill in a topic under Tag Filter.  If you can’t think of a good topic you can find one in the Tag Cloud.
