I'm stuck on the feeling that it's a feature of a much bigger application set, and one that's not even very well implemented. If Facebook added IM/SMS updates to status, it would achieve the same thing but in a much richer UI filled with more more information. Am I missing something? Help me understand! - j. Tom -
