vaguebooking

So I read about vaguebooking on urban dictionary.com. Their definition is:

An intentionally vague Facebook status update, that prompts friends to ask what's going on, or is possibly a cry for help? Example of vaguebooking: Mary "wonders if it's all worth it."

It's the modern day version of sighing out loud, dropping hints that you want someone to ask how things are, a plea for attention. How many vaguebookers do you know? There are a few in my circle. Are you guilty ?
If you think about it, everyone garners for attention in some fashion. Buying a new blouse, changing our hair color, blogging, twittering about dinner at the new hot spot = all forms of sharing information with others in the hope of response. Response to our actions satisfies that basic human need to connect with others. I mean, you don't see animals behaving this way. Fido isn't going to be sharing with all his friends where the new female basset hound in heat is located. He doesn't have a need for a pat on the back, a high five, or simply concern from his four pawed pals. Human connection, love and support of others, it's what we all want. Is vaguebooking the new way to get it?
