I no longer have to be "Tamera is…" – Facebook to drop the "is" tonight

Crowd sourcing

From Wired’s blog – Facebook is caving to public demand and dropping the “is” (although they won’t let me tell you in my status update). I knew when I joined the “drop the is” group it would mean something!

Long live choice!

Great – so then, how do you get rid of the ‘is” in the status message.. because I’m in the midst of changing it, and right now, the “is” is still mandatory, it appears.

Most likely a system wide update sometime in the middle of the night will take care of it…

Congratulations on a battle well fought . . . I was always a moral supporter of the group to eliminate the “is”, just somewhat cowardly in my unwillingess to step forward and engage personally.

Hmm.. as of tonight, still no indication that the mandatory “is” has been removed.

Hey, don’t blame me, I just report the news, I don’t make it! ;)

No update from Wired either, so I have no clue what happened…
