Sometimes you really want to express your mood, thoughts and feelings in your contact status. But the limited set of characters (160) does not allow your imagination to take flight. What's the matter? Why is the contact status short?
Let's first figure out why we need the status before writing anything there. Status is designed to reflect your internal or external state. In fact, you can write absolutely anything you want there. Therefore, you should not limit yourself only to descriptions of your experiences. Many people actively use the status to place advertisements on it. This is very convenient and effective, because the status can be published in the news of your page. Then all your friends will see it if they check the news.
The developers of the site vkontakte.ru considered that 160 characters would be enough to publish your status. This is the answer to the question of why the contact status is short. This is the developers' idea. The status is what it is, and it would seem there is no other option. But it was not there. It is possible to increase the number of characters in the status as follows:
How to increase the number of status symbols in a contact:
Some may think that 250 characters for a status in a contact is also not enough. As they say, “There is no limit to perfection.” But in this situation, a status length of 250 characters is the limit. You can write down your status on a piece of paper manually if you're itching to post your current status somewhere.
Status is a good idea by the developers of the site vkontakte.ru. But they are not innovators. The very idea of both posting a status and the entire vkontakte.ru service in general was borrowed from the foreign social network facebook.com. It was from this site that the craze for using social networks began around the world. On the one hand, a social network helps you maintain contacts with people who live far away from you, but on the other hand, a social network can expose you to so-called “network addiction.” Be careful.
Communication on social networks using Internet pagers (ICQ, QIP) is often accompanied by so-called statuses - small text descriptions that characterize the state of the interlocutor. Isn’t it convenient to open your favorite “contact” and see a short signature “I’m at work” during the conversation?

Statuses have received a unique development and today websites have been created on the Internet whose purpose is to provide the user with a huge number of funny texts. Fans of the VKontakte social network know that the standard settings do not allow you to enter a status of more than 160 characters.
