Michael Pommier is writing a blog

It has been used to deliver well wishes, say happy birthday, display frustrations, tell friends what you are doing every ten minutes, it is ... the Facebook status.

I joined the social networking site when I was in college and I have witnessed the evolution of the Facebook status from one-a-day notices on who things are going to 15 minute updates on what your friends are doing. Seriously, I'm glad that my friends are keeping up proper dental hygiene but I don't need to know that they are currently brushing their teeth before going to class.

In addition, the status has provided a new avenue for the all-mighty one liner and song lyrics to live on. I have begun to see more frequently that people are using song lyrics as their status. For example, "John Doe is wastin' away again in Margaritaville."

Yesterday I was in a group of people when I heard a man say that he had the greatest Facebook status ever and then proceeded to discuss his witty post and his reasoning for it. Not too long ago I heard some one say "Facebook me" instead of "call me." When I was in school the joke around the students was that if it wasn't on Facebook, it wasn't true.

I knew that the Internet is the information super highway, but with the exponential popularity of Facebook, the Internet has now become the personal information super highway.

For your enjoyment, below are a few real status updates from my page (The names have been changed):
