Poke

[supapapa]

When someone on Facebook pokes you, what does it mean?

[Patsy33]

It's a polite reminder to respond!..

[tonyav]

Doh, I thought it mean't something else ;-)

[supapapa]

Respond to what?

[ichkeria]

It's just a playful 'I'm here ' gesture

People poke their friends or friends of friends on Facebook for a lot of reasons (ex: just saying hello, getting their attention). When you poke someone, they'll receive a notification.

Oh, I always believed that someone was proposing to me.....................you ruined it all.

keyplus - if only life was that much fun. :-D

I admit to being confused as to the point of 'poke' - there are other ways of getting in touch with people. It is all too confusing at times.

I don't think people poke as much now. It used to be a way of letting people know you're thinking of them. Now, it has to be a like on one of their posts.

My daughters do it just to annoy me!
