Want to Spice Up iChat? You Need Status Symbol!

iCha t takes the most popular instant messaging system, AOL Instant Messenger, and adds a bit of style as only Apple can do. For example, the official AIM client on the Mac only shows very basic user status information. To read extended status information, you have to either send a message, or dig through multiple dialog boxes. iChat shows this information by default. With this in mind, the fixed status messages are cool, but wouldn't it be great if there was a way to make them dynamic?
