Orkut just introduced this awesome feature which allows you to set up a status message for your profile visitors. Using this feature, you can leave a message just below your profile name to let others know what you are doing at the moment or expressing their personal moods or just leave a message to visitors. Here is how you can access this awesome feature…
» Setting Up the Status Message
- To use this feature, edit your profile
- You will find this feature just below the name.
- Fill in your message and update your profile to complete the procedure.
» Note
This feature is not yet live for all the profiles. You need to wait a day or two till orkut rolls it out for your profile.

There Is No such option.
I searched in my profile and many of my friends edit profile page, I didn’t found this option in any one’s profile
@ivilla – You can take this profile as an example – http://www.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?uid=7598358499777098006
Now, we also have hacks to display pictures and links on the status message part. I am also waiting for this feature rolled out for my profile before making those hacks public since that would make more sense.
I guess we are doing our job well – informing you as it happens

To use this feature,
* Go to your Profile Edit option or Just your profile
* Below your 1st name you will find Status Msg
* Fill in your message and update your profile to complete the procedure.
* For Medal in Profile Use the foll Code : < *img src=/img/i_donut_badge.gif> without *
Check this profile for example – http://www.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?uid=7656263246597568622
How it works ? – When ever you use a HTML code instead of a text in the Status Msg. The code gets Activated. Hence if you use an HTML image code such as < *img src=Link of Image> (without *).
The any image can be displayed on Status msg. You Can as use Animated Gif images if you like.
I like this smiley one. < *img src=http://www.animated-gifs.eu/menu/emoticons.gif>
