Map of Proposed US Time Zone Changes

Live posting private information, like whether you're currently in a vulnerable state like sleep, would be a huge safety concern for many people. Making this data non-public would completely defeat the purpose.

Plus, how on earth is constantly updating your status more convenient than changing the clock twice a year? Who is actually going to bother to do that? What problem does this solve exactly?

• It doesn't need to say "sleeping", just "away", "busy" or "offline" like on most messaging services now and since forever.

• Sleep/availability detection is already automatic and can be improved.

• Extra details don't need to be public, only shared with [specific] friends. Unexpected calls from unknown contacts wouldn't be welcome anyway.
