on 4/8/2009 This really is a great how to. Poking is fun. I had no idea that: What Does it Mean to Poke Someone on Facebook?had so many meanings. http://www.fbexpressions.com/blog/index.php/general-facebook-information/what-does-it-mean-to-poke-someone-on-facebook/ In that article I linked to they explain a lot of them. It's quite interesting.

on 3/3/2009 Does this only come up if you're looking at a friends? My profile doesn't have that option, but everyone else does :(. So does that mean no one can "Poke" me?
