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>
.

Thanks!
