Statusbating 

The act of re-reading a status update feeling the need comment multiple times or show all your friends the update/comment at the most inopportune time possible to garner attention. This includes self-liking the status and/or any of your own comments.

Statusbating another person (sometimes referred to as maserbating. "Mutual Statusbating") results in multiple comments to the same update in a short interval.
Friend A:"Check out my buddies update. Tell me what you think"

update: Too lazy for a Note so here's the summary - Double Dare is great, Lucas is a terrible movie, commenting on snow is beyond lame, super soakers were a paradigm shift & Goldberg was the best pro wrestler ever.

Friend B: "I think you need to stop statusbating in public. It's just sad."

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
