This is a great tool. I am heavily modifying it to reflect the latest updates on the homepage via ajax. When someone updates the page, it will update on the homepage automatically.
Also, a nice feature would have been the built-in integration onto the homepage, possibly in the header. Would have been nice to have that option then re-coding it.
All in all this software does the job, and does it flawlessly.

2) is it possible to have the vbnow text box in your usercp so people can enter what they are doing right then and there? that's the way they have the "what you are doing right now" on facebook always in the usercp, same as on myspace.
3) is it possible to through this in a column on a forum page, and display the last 5 entries of all users that have updated their status?
Okay...this sounds really cool. So despite the fact that I run a Vbul forum with more than 1 million pageviews per month (22,000 unique users/month), I'm still somewhat of a non-techie.
Can some kind soul tell me what the value of this mod would be? What would it enable my users to do that they can't already do via the forum and PM?
Sorry if these are stupid questions, but I really need a description in layman's terms.

Wow, great idea Mr Moo. Did you get that working already?
I see there is an RSS feed for the 'individual' pages as well as the "public" page.
So, in essence, we can take those feeds and display them anywhere on the site by using a script to display "x" amount of 'items' on their profile page or in a block on the forum home or homepage, etc.
