The art of the Facebook status update



There was a story in this past weekend's New York Times, discussing the variety of Facebook status updates. In an email exchange with a friend, she mentioned that she thought status updates fall into just a handful of categories. I've merged her categories with mine... any others?

1. Mundane - Having coffee. Going to bed. I'm cold. I'm home.
2. Esoteric - Is Fifth Business. Debt is the slavery of the free. Is closer than you think. Will insert Tab A into Slot B.
3. Location/Travel - At the Met. In Miami. Going to Mexico. Coming back to San Francisco.
4. Action - Tuning a cello. Riding to Point Reyes. Putting on snow chains. Reading the Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies.
5. Thought - Wondering if it is possible for a man to be a cougar. Loves caramel corn.
6. Culinary - French toast, coffee and Suzanne Vega. Izzy's for steak dinner with the boyz. Seared tuna, tomato salad and a glass of Cloudy Bay. Going to brunch at Ella's.
7. Inquiry - How do I put air in car tires? Anyone want to swim at OC at 3pm? Skiing in Tahoe this weekend?
