Good Day:
Have you noticed how much websites have started integrating new apps. All the apps are being added to their sites to help the users navigate the sites fluently. Have you heard of the 'Poke'? Well, the poke is an app used to get your friends attention. If your friend has already logged on to their email accounts, Poke lets you ping to let them know you are online. But if the person is not online the poke simply waits until that person logs on, then relays the message. This app can be compared to 'Instant Messaging'. Instant Messaging will also hold a message until the recipient logs onto their email account. Note, that you must keep your status current. Why? Because status allows users to inform their friend of their whereabout or situation. For example, if I am busy doing homework, I will simply click 'Busy' as my status. This notification lets all my friends know that I am busy.
Good News: As of February 23, 2010, Facebook gained a U.S. patent on certain aspects of their news feeds. The patent prohibits users and hackers from manipulating feeds to gain attraction to their websites.
To add, Facebook users can now add up to 200 photos to their albums. Awesome!
I have used "poke" on facebook.
ReplyDeleteI always used "poke" to say hello to my friends. I guess it has many different uses.
ReplyDeleteThis could be yet another way to keep up with the kids when they are away!
