Twitter and facebook status messages for the imaginatively challenged

Trying out Generatus
Here is what I got:
“Thunderror always wears a seatbelt. It makes it harder for aliens to suck him out of his car.”

Generatus is meant for facebook, but provides satisfactory results with most microblogging platforms, social networking status messages and ensures that your status is as unique as possible. Reduces twitter’s block

Updating.me: Microblogging simplified (Get your invite code here…)

I actually stumbled upon this one…Updating.me. First thing that impresses me is the interest domain name. And the site does just that. It is for all those microblogging fanatics who have got an account with every microblogging site in the universe….

Now, Its similar to ping.fm. But, different in many ways…I personally prefer updating me over any other simultaneous posting service…Plus it supports all those services which I need…Right now, they support

TwitArmy TwitArmy and of course,
Now, if that doesn’t satisfy you…they have their own Adobe AIR app which lets you update all these services without ever visiting their website. And, if you are on updating.me, you get to see your stream on any of these services all the time (yeah, you have to do a manual refresh, though)..
Right now, it is limited private beta and you are going to need a secret invite code to get in.
So here it is, just for thunderror.com readers

Rejaw – the new microblogging site

Rejaw. At last a microblogging site which feels good…Well, now lets not start comparing with twitter..Considering that twitter has been around for long…but its always great to have comparison in the arena.

Microblogging has several contenders but none have even managed to shake twitter even a bit, except for maybe, plurk. Microblogging is the post of small messages, limited by character count which can be seen by the public(or maybe restricted to a group). Few of the contenders in the market other than the leader being twitter are Plurk, Identi.ca, Kwippy, Beemood etc.

Anyone who has used Twitter will find themselves familiar with the interface at Rejaw. The site is friendly, very minimalistic. No nonsense and has a smooth interface which I love. It is not that I am switching from twitter..but its good to have an alternative…Identi.ca was slow, sluggish and boring…Kwippy was good, nothing spectacular and I am already a fan of Plurk…

Join me on Rejaw!
