Facebook offers users a number of ways in which they can personalize their online experience and share more information with their friends and family. Games, quizzes, groups, networks and other features of social networking all help to create a more enjoyable environment. However, a Facebook status message is one of the most enjoyable aspects of using this particular social network.

What is a Facebook status message? It’s actually exactly what it sounds like. This is a spot on your profile where you can put in your current mood, thoughts, or what you’re doing at the moment. Many people choose to make amusing comments here, or to input what they are doing to help their friends and family keep up with their goings on.

A Facebook status message can be long or short, factual or comical. In fact, you don’t have to use them at all. They display on your profile, as well as on the news feed pages of those you choose to make friends in this environment. You’ll also find your friends’ status messages on your own news feed page, allowing you to keep up with what they are doing and thinking at the moment.
