I haven't yet discovered any underlying pattern or pervasive trend regarding facebook status updates, but I think the project has potential--for keeping me busy at work. Out of 243 friends, only 73 of my friends actually use the status update feature. Of those people, the average update cycle is about three days. In some cases (me, for example) status updates are made almost daily, with exceptions accounting for weeks with the same status update.
Seeing as how the SuperBowl was yesterday, I was curious how many people's status updates would reference the game. In total 11/73 of my facebook friends mentioned something about the game yesterday. Those 11 include comment like: "_______ is like, wtf," and "_______ knows that the real winner yesterday was NewsCorp." Here are some other statistics:
1/73 people alluded to the band Westlife
2/73 people are happy about having a specfic day off of work
1/73 people do not care for Burrough Tour 2008
7/73 people are "is (one word)."
My current status update reads: "Marc is gonna' make you breakfast, with eggs and toast, because it's your special day." And you know what? It's fucking true.
