Popular Applications One option that's gotten a lot of attention is poke . When you poke someone, Facebook sends a message to the other member that says he or she has been poked by you. What does this mean? Many members use the feature as a flirting technique, but according to Facebook, it doesn't mean anything at all -- it was included to give Facebook members a fun way to interact with one another. In short, a poke is whatever you want it to be. Show off your interests with Pieces of Flair for your profile! Describe yourself with buttons. Send them to friends as gifts.
