Just what is the value of a poke?

Clearly the value of a facebook poke is not exactly zero. Twere that the case, no one would bother with them except as whim and fancy strikes them. Given that I consistently have 10-20 pokes and an occasional poke war, I don't think this would be the correct valuation ( Read more... )

random, facebook, people, introspection

**poke**

. . . **sigh** Maybe pokes are for those of us who do not do well keeping up friendships, let alone conversations, when separated by distance, but do still want to let people know we are thinking of them. Then again I only poke two people. I should branch out, man.

This don't really apply to you. You, and Paul, and a handful of others, actually put a bit of effort into keeping in touch, despite vast distances between us. This is more about the fact that there are all sorts of people who, even being in the same city in many cases, never put any work into keeping a friendship alive. For example, I've given up on Caroline and a bunch of others who just never even tried to call, cause being the only person putting effort in is tiresome.
