They created the status box in response to Twitter. Now they realize people connect on many extra things including pictures (Instagram) or videos. I am kinda surprised too.

While that is true, in the old method it had the status box, with the other links (photo, video, link, etc) below it. It was still a 2 click process.

I would think that most people enter a personalized status message most of the time, regardless of whether they are just posting a simple status, a photo, or a link.

Just seem dumb to me, and of no benefit, to make it a 3 click process.
