- Although not many know it, Facebook has a feature called Poke, which reminds many of the old and beloved buzzes of MSN Messenger, and which serves to attract the attention of a user
- These virtual notifications, which alert us to our presence, cannot be applied to all contacts indiscriminately, so it is better to know what their limits are and how to use them
The most famous social network in the world, the first big one, has a function to poke, poke or push others. This action, which is originally called Poke in English, reminds several of the old buzzes of MSN Messenger, a system to warn another person that we are there, that we need them and that we are waiting for them. That said, how is it possible to get someone's attention on Facebook thanks to this feature ?
Well, before getting fully into this tutorial, we didn't want to stop emphasizing that you can poke or poke practically any of your friends list contacts, taking advantage of this kind of virtual notification to make them notice that you're there, through an alert that will indicate that they have been stung or punctured, so that they respond to it either by giving you that push back, or by doing what they are supposed to do..
