Abstract
A user's user device includes a messaging module that allows the user to communicate with its contacts through a messaging system. The messaging module also allows the user to access a status interface that includes a feed with multiple status items. Each status item indicates current information associated with a contact of the user. The status items are received by the messaging module from the messaging system. The messaging system creates the status items based on device information automatically provided to the system by user devices. One or more of the status items received by the messaging module are customized by the module after they are received from the messaging system and before they are presented to the user in the status interface. The status items are customized based information associated with the user.
