Would it take up too much space by having status updates show up on the side bar of the frontpage?

Well, we already have blogs up there. Status updates are mostly for you to interact with friends, not something to public ally display. Some people just post a link, and how boring is that? Also, status updates do not need approval, so sometimes inappropriate things get through since it's hard to check every single profile. And don't want that on the front page for hours before a Mod can get to it. Doesn't look good on us. So, probably just not a good idea overall.

Hm. That's an interesting take on the matter. I guess it's just not for some places then.
