Poke You! (Not!) Facebook Quietly Minimizes Poking
Facebook may have invented poking but now the site has toned the popular feature in a very big way.
Can you find a poke button on Facebook?
Facebook has quietly tucked this feature into a pull-down menu in the right-hand corner of profiles.
The label for this menu consists only of a gear icon and a down arrow.
I first noticed this change around the time of the subscribe button, but suspect it actually may have kicked in with Facebook’s creation of smart friend lists and the movement of privacy controls to the site where people post content into the news feed.
