Interesting, you can rich embed a club. I didn't think that's available yet.
This might be just me, but the mobile create flyover's "Create new" looks like a text input box more than a menu header.
Where are Status Updates visible?
If they're enabled (as a per-user option in Account Settings), you will see them immediately on the profile page. You can also feed them into block feeds, status update blocks, or third party blocks like Chatbox. If a status update gets posted on the profile and no one is around to hear it, does it still get posted?
Status updates are terrible replacements for social networks. Someone bring me microblogging.
No Joel, you can't do that you dumb dumb. Status updates are public.
But what if I want to write a private message to just my followers?
Did I just take a screenshot of a screenshot LOL?
I don't say this facetiously (really), but if you ONLY had an hour or two, then you should probably dedicate them to reading the release articles. Once it goes into alpha, they're not likely to be adding any changes. They're just looking for confirmation and usability of what they've already changed.
That was't part of any of their release articles, so not sure why you expected it.
