could it be that the new status is being "hard to find". perhaps these two fella's don't want to have a ton of friends on facebook, etc. if time is the new luxury, than one's availability is the new (old) status enhancer….Just some random thoughts..

Terrific post, Grant. It is, as is your wont, highly timely.

Not enough or too much: the age old human problem.

Talk (imagine that!) soon.

Here I was thinking, damn, I haven't visited so many of the bloggers I really enjoy in ages. You and Tom were my "status casting" picks. (Quotes because I'm learning a new term too!) Hope all is well, Grant, and jealous to see your stamina still matches your mind. Best for the hols and hope to link a bit more in the 08.</p> <p>f</p> Hah!

In this discussion, about a client and the future, we're also applying the fact that in 5-7 years around 50% of handsets will have GPS functionality. I wonder what happens then with this status casting?</p> Quite a coincidence to read this today after having used the exact same word about the phenomena (actually about the status line you can type in on MSN, but the same goes, of course, for twitter and the rest of your examples).
