Can I not simply wire it up to all the other bloody stupid status displaying apps that pervade my life? Set phone to DND. Set auto responder on email client(s). Set away status on various desktop apps. Set away on various web apps. Set away on work mobile (cell) apps. Go home. Actually I don't bother with any of that. I don't answer the phone or any apps when I'm not "there" or can't be arsed or am busy. It's what people have done for millennia.

I guess we need SaaS: Status as a Service

  Isn't that originally all twitter was? At least that's how I remember it being described when it first came out: "It's a service to store your AIM-style status messages"

    2019: "send Microsoft feedback on Twitter about their Github blog post". So Twitter became a Swiss army knife.

  See status.net It would he great if software just supported the protocol, and we might have a single page to set the status, then broadcast to all related services.

They could implement IFTTT integration, or someone else could probably do that with a bit of js for your browser.

  If this then that is a bloody API with knobs on (it is quite a good one though!) I simply want to be a human and behave (badly) like one.

    > I simply want to be a human and behave (badly) like one. Yeah, hopefully in a few years we'll have intelligent silicon servants that actually care about us.
