Does anyone actually ”Poke” anymore? (15 posts)

Topic tags: poke
  • I remember when poking was fun and rather silly way to break up your work day. Look for a friend and poke them. Ha ha. Ok well does anyone still do this? Does it have any real value aside from kid games?

  • @jasonwiser

    I Didn’t see any value or entertainment in them and never participated in the whole “poke” thing, just deleted the notifications. Maybe I missed out on something, but I still don’t see it.  

  • @jasonwiser I have randomly received them but not recently. I have seen status updates referencing how silly they are and unnecessary. I think the only individuals it may entertain now are those 13-18 in my opinion.

  • I posted the same question on my FB wall and got 12 pokes. no likes, and 2 comments, and on message that said “ha ha ha, how you been. What’s new wit ya?”

  • I can’t believe they have kept the Poke feature.  With all the changes, the Poke survives?

  • Nope, never done it.

  • Bit of a personal question ; ) LOL

  • @clarabellahp Ok.OK.

  • @jasonwiser….sorry couldnt resist : )

  • @clarabellahp (Ok, I admit it. That was funny!)

  • I wrote a blog about poking and it was the favorite blog of the year.. Go figure! it’s not in an obvious place now but I almost always poke anyone who pokes me. They must like it or they would stop. Yup, pure silliness.

  • I’ve posted a reference or two about the poke, and it always results in a number of pokes.

    However, the poke feature used to be more prominently displayed and now you have to go looking for it, so its kinda an afterthought.

    But, if the button was still where it used to be (with the birthdays), I’d probably still be a pokin’….

    @jasonwiser

    And @clarabellahp , you don’t have to tell us who you’ve been pokin’

  • I have never poked ever.

  • I only poke family members & close close friends.

    It takes time sending messages all the time when I am thinking about them, but a poke lets them know I am thinking and takes about 2 seconds to complete.

    LOVE IT!

    PS. I always get poked back.

  • @jasonwiser I’ve never used the poke. @cindywattsI love it! Now I’m going to start poking!  Where is the poke?
