How to Automatically Poke Back on Facebook

Poke your friends virtually on Facebook.

Facebook users often greet friends by poking them. Pokes appear on the right side of your Facebook homepage, and they are a friendly and entertaining feature offered by the social-networking site. You have the option to "Poke Back" or "Remove Poke" once someone pokes you -- you must manually click one of the choices for each poke. Save time by using the Facebook Autopoke user script for the Firefox browser. It allows you to automatically poke back your friends when you sign into your account.

Things You'll Need

• Mozilla Firefox Web browser
• GreaseMonkey extension
• Facebook Autopoke script

Instructions

1. Navigate to the Mozilla Firefox Add-Ons page. Type "Greasemonkey" in the search box, located in the upper-right corner. Press the green arrow to search.

2. Click the "Add to Firefox" button on the Greasemonkey page. Click "Install Now," then choose "Restart Now." The Firefox browser will close and restart.

3. Navigate to the Userscripts website. Search for "facebook autopoke." Choose "Facebook Autopoke 3.5 for Greasemonkey."

4. Click "Install." In the dialog box that appears, again click "Install." Wait a few seconds for installation to complete.

5. Log into your Facebook account. Any unaddressed pokes will be automatically returned as pokes to those friends each time you log in.
