Remember Facebook Pokes? That somewhat ambiguous, slightly flirtatious, and often forgotten feature? Well, Facebook is trying to bring it back. Again.
Facebook’s Persistent Pursuit of the Poke
Despite previous attempts to revive Pokes in 2017 and last year (to limited fanfare), Facebook seems determined to make Pokes a thing. The platform recently announced another revamp of the feature, signaling their unwavering commitment.
Why Pokes?
The question remains: why is Facebook so insistent on reviving Pokes? What purpose does it serve in today’s social media landscape? With countless ways to interact with friends and family online, is there really a need for a feature as simple – and perhaps outdated – as the Poke?
Only time will tell if this latest attempt to make Pokes popular will succeed. But for now, it seems Facebook is betting that a little bit of nostalgia can go a long way.
What do you think?
Will you be using the new and improved Poke feature? Or do you think Facebook should focus on other areas of the platform? Let us know in the comments below!
