What's everyone up to?
What's everyone up to?

About a year ago we introduced Status Updates to provide a lightweight way for people to give little updates to their friends. Your profile isn't really an appropriate place to tell everyone about the delicious Chipotle you are currently enjoying, and editing your "About Me" section every 15 minutes is just creepy. So in an unprecedentedly bold move, we made a little input box starting with "I am" for everyone to use as they please.
Well, just recently our lawyers received an angry call from the Grammar Police. Really, very angry. As hard as we tried, we just weren't perfect about converting "I am" to "Mark is" without breaking a few rules along the way. We scratched our heads, went to Chipotle, and then decided that we could just change the input to say "Mark is" instead of "I am." Crisis averted.
While we were at it, we decided to make some other improvements. Here's what's shiny and new:
Mark is a Technical Lead at Facebook. That's his job, not his status.

While we were at it, we decided to make some other improvements. Here's what's shiny and new:
- Your friends' three most recent updates on the home page
- A brand new page to see all your friends' updates at once
- An RSS feed to put your friends' updates in your reader of choice
- The ability to subscribe to a friend's updates via SMS
- The ability to easily update status from your phone by sending an SMS to Facebook starting with the "@" character
