What are "status updates" for?

Many of the websites that I've got accounts on have a section on the profile page that lets you "update your status". I've never actually done so as I've been able to figure out neither the purpose of doing so nor what that would consist of. Obviously it involves posting text of some kind, but beyond that I don't know. I don't think I've ever seen anybody else's status updates, although I doubt I'd have recognized them as such if I had.

    status update is something you use to share what you are doing/what's on your mind/a photo or video with people who are connected to you on that social networking site.
