"I have no clue what it does. God bless the gimmicks that make one Internet addiction different from the next. [On] MySpace you get to see multiple pictures and can show art and music. Xanga you get to whine and complain to your little emo heart's content. Facebook has poking."

"A poke is an Internet version of someone going up to you, extending the index finger of the right hand, gently pushing on the region of the body above the hip, and then running away and hiding behind a water fountain whilst whistling 'I'm a little teapot.'"

JR Benmuvhar
Sophomore

"Ooh, good question. Poking-that could be dirty, couldn't it? I have no idea! I'm not a frequent user of the 'poke' feature!"
