I knew something was up! For the last week or so, all text message updates I have received from Facebook say something like "Kimberly Male is is eating dinner" – note the double "is". Also, I got a strange message from Facebook saying that texts were being turned off because I hadn’t sent a text to Facebook in the last 30 days. I had to go into my account and turn it on again, twice, before it started working.
The point is, they’ve been tinkering.
And now it appears the grammatically inflexible status updates feature is finally going to be fixed. Ding dong, the "is" is dead!
My sister gave me the heads up tonight that she could backspace the "is" from the input box, and then type whatever she wanted. I just checked it out, and I can do the same! Looks like the mobile site still contains a hardcoded "is" however.
The removal is obviously not yet complete, but hopefully it will be soon. Keep an eye out here, here, and here for updates.
