I miss the "is..." It was fun trying to come up with sentences to fit it. I was almost starting to begin all my sentences with is...

Lol, making "is" a throwback. That's great! We should get together 10 years from now and say "Remember when 'is' was in the status updates on facebook?" Those were the good days!

Haha, I kind of liked the quirky, non-grammatical things people came up with for status updates. A worthy change, though. I can still choose to add a nonsensical "is" on top of whatever I write, as a throwback.

Why does it need to be a verb? It should be completely freeform.

That's true ... I kind of enjoyed that as well. I like that it's better integrated with Twitter though.

I think that's too bad. I always have fun trying to bend what I want say around the is - the more creative I have to be, the better. Just one more thing that dilutes the uniqueness of FB.
