So your startup is basically Twitter, mixed with Spotify and a dash of Foursquare, but really much more like old-school Facebook when you really get down to it. And it's "coming soon"? Join the club.

That's basically the sentiment behind The Random Startup Generator, a clever little web tool that the folks over at blogging social network Fireplace put together as a gentle jab at startups that linger in the "coming soon" stages for far too long. (Check out the URL as well, which puts a spin on Y Combinator.)

There are a few bugs in the layout when viewed on a smaller screen, but this is a rather enjoyable diversion for those of use who toil in the tech world.
