This is a good thing so many times I have had to change my status to incorperate that dreaded is!

I wonder how this will affect the Twitter integration.  Will it now say _Dav: Twittering_ , instead of _Dav "is" Twittering_  Why do I care?sorry for the trashy comment guys.

Originally when they dropped the is, the Facebook for Blackberry application AND the Facebook Firefox toolbar both were still showing the is.

RIM however has yet to fix the blackberry application, so those using it still must use and see the is: http://www.bbgeeks.com/blackberry-applications/the-facebook-is-lives-on-in-the-blackberry-app-88125/andhttp://www.bbgeeks.com/blackberry-applications/facebook-is-for-you-and-bb-88129/
