Blogging effortlessly

Want a blog that does the work for you? Why waste time filling your blog with the same pointless posts, when with a few clicks you can know that the blog will take care of itself. No need to change your current tool, it supports Blogger, Movable Type and even Nucleus. Zeldman has one, looks like Starvos has one, filepile is in the mix and it looks like Metafilter has been using it since August.

Now if you could get it to actually post to your own MT installation, that'd be great ...

It's actually pretty funny how it works. It scrapes blogdex, imdb, etc and auto-generates posts that sound believable using a dada engine and this script.

I was wondering how the comments on the MovableType templates showed up with the correct cgi urls. That is clever.

R. Robot was the first self-writing weblog (2002), and has an easier interface. But this looks clever...

I'm sure I would dig it but every time I try to load up the page, it comes back as a connection refused. I hate being rejected by web sites. It just knocks my self esteem that much lower. That and R. Robot is a better writer than I am. DAMN!

Programmers don't need a reason, just a challenge. I think it's pretty damn cool.

I just liked the domain name. My doppelganger is an idiot! Well, even more than I am, I mean. But, what's it for? It's a new, C2F (customer-to-fuckwit) service to help the busy executive prioritize and upshift his value-chain deliverables while monetarizing downtime in a time-sensitive fashion. Or, a weblog that writes itself.

This is a cute parody of the tendency in blogdom towards quotidian banality and homogeneity (your blog and mine exempted, of course), not to mention a clever bit of programming. I'm not sure why people don't like it. I linked to my new faux blog from my real blog, and received a complimentary email shortly thereafter from a friend. This indicates to me that my friends don't think I'm above writing a first entry that reads, "This is my first weblog entry," which wounds me. Still, it's good to know where you stand.

It's a new, C2F (customer-to-fuckwit) service to help the busy executive prioritize and upshift his value-chain deliverables while monetarizing downtime in a time-sensitive fashion. Ah, now it is clear. I may have to shoot myself to get the concept out of my head, but at least I understand ;-) I suspect that the zenith of this tool will be when a completely automated, scripted site wins "Best New Weblog" in the next Webby Awards.
