Could it be possible to have a widget (with a textbox) that would do this for us? You know like that search widget where you select the search engine and it opens up a webrowser with the query?
In this case, you would click a button and select a social network platform from a list of a few of the most popular, type your status (maybe have a live count preview for twitter's 140 character limit) and then click on a "update" button.
Anyone interested?
(if not i might take on this project as a challenge!)

I'm writing this with the assumption you have a skype account set up on the phone(You don't have to use Skype, I just prefer it, and happen to use it for this example. MSN, AIM, and Gtalk are also supported protocols) and have a current Ping.fm account. If you don't have a Ping.fm account sign up here.
After creating your Ping.fm account and setting up your services such as Facebook, and Twitter, go to your 'Dashboard' and click the 'Skype' link under 'Services/Tools'
That'll take you to a page asking you to add a user by the name of pingdotfm do this and the bot account will add you, then IM it with the verification code you're presented with on the page.
Now just send it an IM and it'll post to your accounts, or use the tags to tell it which one to post to. (@fb for facebook, @tt for twitter, ect)
Now just wait for Ping.fm to show up on your N900 contacts list (if you're really impatient, reboot the phone) and just send an IM to update your status. Simple
To make it easier for me, I made a desktop contact icon for Ping.fm
Since Ping.fm doesn't natively support Google's Buzz just yet, we kinda have to improvise this part. Thankfully detailed instructions already exist right here.
Enjoy, and *Thank* if you thought this info was useful!
