What are you supposed to do when somebody “pokes” you on Facebook? Are you supposed to just poke back, so they can poke you back, so you can poke them back, so they can poke you back, so you can poke them back, so they can poke you back, so you can poke them back, so they can poke you back, so you can poke them back, so they can poke you back, so you can poke them back, so they can poke you back, so you can poke them back, so they can poke you back, so you can poke them back, so they can poke you back…
Where does it end? Are you supposed to actually talk to the person at some point?
ETA: Also, if you’ve “hidden” someone from your updates, how do you get them back? I’m trying to “un-hide” somebody and I can’t find the button.
“hidden” so that they can’t read your updates, or so that you can’t read theirs (i.e. “ignored”)?
if it’s (b), then scroll down to the bottom of your “news feed” deal. You’ll find a link that says “Edit Options”, and click on that. That will bring up the list of people you’ve chosen to “ignore” and you can remove them from that list.
There’s one friend on Facebook that I’m engaged in a poke war with. It started with him poking me one day. I noticed it a few days later and poked him back. Rinse and repeat, with each of us refusing to allow the other person the last poke. Yes, I think it’ll continue until the end of time.
That would make more sense if it was only available if you were both online, and if responding to a poke didn’t look exactly the same as starting one.
I actually think it would make more sense if the poke response included a textbox to write on someone’s wall or a link to write a message. But even just acknowledge that they responded to your poke would be nice.
Some people have so many privacy settings on Facebook that if you do manage to find them, sometimes there’s not an option to add them as a friend. Poke is always there though. I couldn’t add a girl, so I poked her, which caused her to add me. Winning.
