While You Were Away …

Well this could be really good or really bad because the away message is coming back to haunt us. I repeat, this is not a drill!

That’s right, the bastion of late 90s and early 2000s angst has risen from its emo grave. We all have had those dreaded away messages “BRB” or “Reading a magazine leave a message.” It’s not going to be quite the same, though.

For starters the away message is now going to live on Facebook’s mobile app. According to The Verge, the company is calling the new feature a “sidebar status,” and it’s currently being tested in Taiwan and Australia.

Do you want to away message to come back or is it a thing of the past?
