It is understood that with so many Social Network site at disposal the attention span of people on these sites is reducing and hence it has become imperative to make the best of the small attention span from friends and people on your network.

We did a post sometime back on Generatus, which would generate creative, witty and funny for using on Social Networking sites. Today we are going to see another service that’ll in a different creative way will bombard your Social Network profile with comments and replies. This service is called as FlipTitle. As the name of the site suggests, this service flips the text of your which can be posted as status on sites like FaceBook, Twitter, FriendsFeed etc.

A snapshot of what I did with this service on my FaceBook profile.

I am sure this will boost the popularity of your profile!

What’s the purpose of updating status message? Well, in most cases you want to let the world know something about your thoughts at that moment and in some cases you want to let them know what you are up to at that very time.

But then there are times when you know you want to post a that causes people to respond and comment. The idea is to be both smart and controversial. And sometimes it’s not easy to come up with something like that. Ever wondered if you had a service that’d generate status messages for you. If you did then you are lucky because there is a service like that.

The service is called generatus and pretty unique. Let’s see what this service is from it’s own description.

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! Simply type your name, indicate whether you are a boy or a girl, then hit Generate.

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.

Just select the gender (male or female) and hit generate to generate random status messages. And then there is also, a tag cloud to help you with the status messages for the kind of mood that you want messages for.

My take on this service is it’s pretty unique and handy, but being original is better. More over the service can improve a lot by allowing users to enter a and then generating a witty message out of it. That’s gonna require a lot of semantics to train the machine.
