Smartscold is why you'll never scold the same way again. Just what I needed.

#152This is great—well done. I've been looking at this for the past half-hour now.
A few weeks ago, I made a Twitter bot with a similar concept, centered around the "Show HN: A[n] {adjective} {noun}, written in {trendylang}." It has more variation of words (it pulls from WordNet), but it just generates headlines: https://twitter.com/hn_ideator

#153I find this very amusing and disturbing. I feel like I've worked for a couple of these companies.

Offendy is my favorite: http://tiffzhang.com/startup/?s=841700001154 Perhaps targeting the defense sector... Plantlink on the other hand looks viable: http://tiffzhang.com/startup/?s=11714700372 Facebook for plant-lovers. What PG would call a "sitcom" startup idea, I think...
Offendy has both a CKO and a CNO? Presumably the Chairman is the only one doing any work.
This quote was on the money: "It’s an unique opportunity to meet awesome people and change the world!" It reminds me of the old (old, old...) fake Army recruitment slogan something like "Join the Army! Travel the world, meet interesting people, and then kill them."
I just turned up "WasteIgnite": http://tiffzhang.com/startup/index.html?s=31556537750 -- "WasteIgnite was founded by people who love wasting just like you! Enter your favorite ways to waste and we'll help you fit it all in. Since we're using righteous technologies, you can count on us next time you waste."

#156I hate to do this, but I did the same thing several month ago. www.launchnik.com

Receive feet
No fancy algorithms (yet), no automation (yet). I will personally send you a foot I think you'll like every day, entirely determined by your preferences. Each foot will come as a surprise, probably not at the same time every day.

#157http://tiffzhang.com/startup/index.html?s=462210424477 "BlackLink is a detailed black service that makes it easy to turn your blacks into cash." ....uhhhhhhh....Startup from the 1830s?
I'm going to hope it is a New Zealand sports merchandizing startup.

#158Poking around the generators.js and data.js files for a while, it's an interesting quick-and-dirty approach to producing a surprising variety of passable copy. After perusing the word lists, it makes me wish I had the time to figure out the seeds to generate BuzzKill, KnitJogr or TerrifyAdvisr.
I guess I'll have to content myself with RobInspire, a different kind of robing [1] app:

SUCCEED. ANALYZE. ROB.

#159This is hilarious. I started doubting this is random.

"START SPELLING.
Spelling. Everyone talks about it but only the truly delightful are able to spell day in and day out. Here at Spellly we understand your commitment and want to give you what you need to take your spelling to the next level."
It is hard to tell though whether the audience is dyslexic or spelling bee participants.
