That's the user's status box. When the user changes the status box, the new text goes to his profile, but it also generates an Activity in the Activity Stream (known to users as the "newsfeed" or "updates").
You can query the user's (current) status using a GetProfileTx (it's a field in the profile -- don't forget to *call alsoGetStatus()* on the transaction to ensure that the user's status will be returned in the response). Or you can query the activity stream for a user using GetActivitiesTx. For a quick tutorial on the client library, including examples of using GetProfileTx and GetActivitiesTx, you can check out the new Client Library Developer's Guide<http://code.google.com/apis/orkut/docs/clientlib/intro.html>. Specifically, profile transactions are covered here<http://code.google.com/apis/orkut/docs/clientlib/profile.html>, and activity stream fetching is covered here<http://code.google.com/apis/orkut/docs/clientlib/activities.html> .
