I voted no because I feel like the 'Status' section of your profile can serve the same function. I understand the option to broadcast a message specifically to your friends but I just don't think it is necessary.

Thanks for your vote and opinion but I am pretty sure you misunderstood something.
You cannot edit the status of another user, only the user itself can do this.

Whoops, it looks like I definitely misunderstood. Sorry I skewed your data!

Haha no problem

Yes please. Especially because some people change their names often

Thanks for your opinion and vote!
