Abstract: One aspect of the present invention discloses a network device containing my-status application capable of handling real-time user status using a portable electronic device (“PED”). A process of PED is able to collect a geographic location associated with the PED from an onboard location module. After obtaining scheduled information associated with the PED from a calendar module, current status associated with the user of the PED is generated in accordance with the geographic location and the scheduled information. After filtering current status according to a predefined set of contact list, the filtered current status is forwarded to a selected group of audience via the communications network based on a predefined set of contact list.
