This Facebook 'Poke' Was No Joke

Things are getting rough on the social nets. A Tennessee woman has been arrested for “poking” another woman on Facebook.

According to this ABCNews.com article:

Shannon D. Jackson of Hendersonville, Tenn., allegedly violated a legal order of protection that had been previously filed against her when she sent a virtual “poke” to another woman on Facebook.

The Facebook poke feature can be used to convey a variety of meanings, including simply saying “hi” to friends, according to Facebook.
