bullshitr Is Good For a Laugh

Michael Arrington

42 comments »

We see a lot of startups here at TechCrunch, and sometimes we read an entire company submission without getting the slightest clue of what the heck the company does. So today when I saw bullshitr on the Digg home page, I had a “so funny because it’s true” moment.

The “Web 2.0 Bullshit Generator” will generate “bullshit-compliant products and services” with the click of a button. I also appreciate that the creator has included links to related services to give the budding entrepreneur all of the tools they need to “sell your company to Yahoo”.

  1. Use Bullshitr to define your product
  2. Use Buzzphrase Generator for your marketing materials
  3. Name your company with Andrew Woolridge’s Web 2.0 Company Name Generator
  4. Create your logo with the Web 2.0 Logo Generator
  5. Sell your company to Yahoo
  6. Repeat :-)

Very funny stuff. My bullshit was “disintermediate blogging platforms” which sounds pretty good to me.

    That’s it, I’m going to go create a new company that “creates data-driven folksonomies” and name it “Folkorb” — any takers? It’s going to be hott. ;)

    Our tagline? “The words aren’t what they were.”

    Cheers,

    I got “create podcasting podcasts”. So simple, so obvious, I wouldn’t have thought about it. This one is a winner for sure.

    My company will soon start to “beta-test social ad delivery.” Our asking price is $500m. Don’t pass up this golden opportunity.

    All you need now is the Dilbert Mission Statement generator to top it off. http://www.dilbert.com/comics/.....bin/ms.cgi

    It is funny.

    Another indication of buble.

    In my view, pretty soon 2.0 startups will start claiming they are not web 2.0 company. “We are real company with real product, we are NOT web 2.0 company”.

    I got post podcast advertising….if it wasn’t so sadly true it would be funny :)

    I’m off to update my company website with the advertsing phrases right now, fancy advertising on my post podcast service anyone?

    It doesnt seem funny to me, just about every other new business launching seems to fall into the “build it and yahoo will buy” trap…

    A few of my favorites:

    “undefined semantic web services”
    “harness blogging synergies”

    This is funny because it’s true :)

    If you’re still feeling cynical and looking for more amusement, the related Digg entry has some great related links (ie. “f***web2.com”, fill in the blanks..)

    Two typos in two posts. I’m dissappointed. Don’t you read over your posts before you make them live?

    This post: Item 1: “define you product.
    MyDreamApp: 4th paragraph: “focusing on focusing on innovation”

    A similiar take is http://www.vojosalsa.com/

    Valor - I am proud to say that there is at least one typo in nearly every post we write.
