Facebook Poke: Social Impact from a Feature with no Purpose
Sep 16th, 2007 | By Silent Observer | Category: Facebook Strategy
The name Facebook was taken from the word paper “face books” of a college. This basically shows the details of the staff members who are the faculty of college students.
As Jeremiah’s friend Kit joined this site first time, there will be many like her who face problems with the poking feature (as till July 2007 the website has over 34million members!)
Poke is a special feature of Facebook having two key features:
> To attract new friends amongst so many users.
> To say Hi, Hello or buzz just like Yahoo messenger.
Secondly, it also means having fun with your group or friends. Here the poke is exchanged back and forth continuously between friends using poke back feature. Users neglecting to return poke while remaining active, are called as loosers.
There is another feature of poke called “X ME”, or superpoke. Well over here, you can replace poke option for other face book members with words of your choice for your friend..Poke should clearly depict what you want to say to your friend. When you poke someone, a poke icon will appear on his or her home page with an option to “remove poke” or “poke back”.
Once a poke is hidden, it’s gone forever. . I believe hiding a poke enables other person to poke you again, which is always a good thing. As said by Melanie Deitch, Facebook Director of Marketing - “Pokes are one of the social utilities offered by Facebook to spur connections among students”.
I think the social networking platforms like Facebook provide us the different ways to interact with our friends and make new friends over the course of our life.
Poking has been a bit of revelation with facebook as this feature is not present in any other social networking sites like myspace, xanga etc. It is unique thing to be poked by buddies..

I’ve been thinking lately that being frugal is not a bad idea. My credit history is not that great mostly because of lat payments on credit cards. But I still feel like the only way to rebuild it is to get another credit card and quickly pay it back. Which one do you feel will work among those at
