Doc Searls found the Web 2.0 Bullshit Generator! As much as I'm ashamed to admit that I laughed out loud at a generated bit of tech-business text, "reinvent dynamic ecologies" made me giggle. For some reason I've found the overuse of the word "ecology" in the context of the web hilarious. Don't tell anyone.
It got me wondering what other types of bullshit generators are out there.
Dack's Web Economy Bullshit Generator would seem to have been the inspiration for the Web 2.0 Bullshit Generator. This isn't as "funny," but it's more transparent (which is, by the way, a big hit under "adjectives").
For those wanting to enhance geographic strata or curate topographical partnerships, there's the Landscape Urbanism Bullshit Generator. Bullshit Job Title Generator operates similarly, spitting out exciting nondescript snippets to go on a business card. I want my next job to be as a "legacy solutions designer."
Kalvos and Damian have altered Dack's aforementioned generator to bring you the Musical Bullshit Generator. Don't know how to describe your friend's new all-sitar jamboree? How about "tough-sounding back porch soundscape"?
Bullshit generators seem, by and large, to be limited to marketing, business, and specifically web marketing. Because of this, I've become bored searching for bullshit generators and have decided to make my generator. A cereal generator. A futuristic cereal generator. Next post.
