Nice. You will never run out of material. That's for sure!

A few off the top of my head:

Uber for Facebook: on demand outsourced upkeep on your boring but essential social media presences

Snapchat in talks with Twitter: merger could set new valuation record of over 17 trillion dollars!

Even calling yourselves the Onion for Startup News is hilarious. The whole 'we're like uber but for ... ' has become meaningless. The pieces on your tumblr so far have been pretty funny.

This industry needs more social commentary along the lines of Silicon Valley on HBO and sites like this. Silicon Valley nails our industry almost every week. It's brutal, but it's reasonably accurate satire.

I don't think it's yet meaningless. Saying "appear.in is like etherpad for videochat" still has meaning even if making similes for startups is now cliche.
