Vaguebooking

Today's Urban Dictionary Word of the Day - Vaguebooking
February 3
An intentionally vague Facebook status update, that prompts friends to ask what's going on, or is possibly a cry for help.
    Mary is: "wondering if it is all worth it"
    Mark is: "thinking that was a bad idea"

Example:
"Have you talked to Mark? He's vaguebooking again. I wonder if he's back with Mary..."

Opposite:

Tammy is: "in line at the grocery store"

I took it upon myself to check with Urban Dictionary.com to find a good term for the opposite as well...I give you:
     facespew

     Noun:

     A psychological phenomenon present when Facebook users are mysteriously compelled to publicly 
     express themselves at profound, emotional levels whereas they otherwise would not do so in actual life
 
     Verb
     Beatrice’s facespew concerning the lousy details of her breakup was surprising, as she is notably shy and
     reserved in person.

     Friends don't let friends facespew.
