On Facebook, what does it mean when you "poke" someone? - Abigail - 12-14-2012 07:20 PM

On facebook, I have two friends that poked me! What does it mean? I asked one of my friends and she said she doesn't know! Is it mean? Tell me, so I can poke her back Smile
If its mean, then I won't poke her back!

*Imagine you poked someone IRL. That's all it is, just like a "Hey! /smile

I've heard it means different things, that it could be a dirty thing, but also just joking around poking friends like you could do in real life. Either way, it's not mean. You can poke her back.

its just a way to say i miss you...we indulge in poke wars in a friendly way and really their is nothing mean about it...Its just one of those things which breaks the ice between people and makes you approachable Smile

poke in facebook represent notification in facebook and its just for fun game like push something then you push against.
Facebook as a way that my friends are saying, "Hello, I am thinking about you and I miss you."
After you receive a poke, you then have the option of poking back. This could be translated as a way of saying, "Thanks for thinking of me. I feel the same way."
