Facebook includes a "poke" feature which allows one user to send a "poke" to another. According to Facebook's FAQ section on the Poke Feature, "a poke is a way to interact with your friends on Facebook. When we created the poke, we thought it would be cool to have a feature without any specific purpose. People interpret the poke in many different ways, and we encourage you to come up with your own meanings." In principle this is intended to serve as a "nudge" to attract the attention of the other user. However while many Facebook users, as intended, use the feature to attract attention or say hello,[33] some users construe it as a sexual advance.[34] This interpretation of the feature inspired a popular Facebook group titled "Enough with the Poking, Lets Just Have Sex," which, as of September 2007, has more than 250,000 members.
Friends often engage in what is known as a "poke war," where the poke is exchanged back and forth continuously between two users by using the "poke back" feature.
There are several new applications such as "X Me" and "SuperPoke!", that allow users to put any action in place of the word "poke."
Betydelsen var till at börja med typ peta på någon för att få uppmärksamhet, men det tolkas olika av olika grupper eller användare...
