Orkut lets you put status messages !
Orkut has rolled out a new feature where it allows you to update the status message and lets you shout any message which you want to tell your friends. This feature isn’t available dynamically like we have in Facebook, which allows you to without loading any page and is done with the help of Ajax.
Strange fact is that you can’t see the update status feature until and unless you go in the edit profile and until you click on the Update button. Once you do that you’ll get the option of updating the status and that’s just below your name.

Well, as Thilak suggested that it’ll be cool if Orkut could integrate twitter with it and it will also be cool if at all, it puts the updated message in the update timeline or may be if it puts it right below the profile name (in left sidebar, where we get the status message of Gtalk).
Well, I guess someone should come up with a Twitter update orkut app, after all Orkut now supports app installation.

I wonder if OpenSocial API allows me to touch status messages. Isn’t open social API consistent across all supported social networking sites?
