Facebook just rolled out a new set of status options in the UK. They seem pretty dumb.
Go to update your status and you'll now see a smiley icon, which brings up a menu of options: feeling, watching, reading, listening to, drinking, and eating.
The first of these involves emoticons, and is very MSN Messenger/early Myspace. The latter all link to the relevant Facebook pages.
It's kind of fun, but also feels a little juvenile, and raises a number of questions. Such as...
What kind of simpleton would ever use this option?
Or this one?
Who broadcasts the fact that they feel "comfortable"? Is that the kind of thing anyone shares?
