Sometimes have you ever wanted to just say that? I mean it's okay for a while, but soon it is very repetitive... I poke you, then you poke me... so on and so on. For days or maybe even months. Is this the most annoying thing about facebook?
Is there something else you don't like instead? I also do not like how some apps on Facebook will post to my wall, and friends walls without me authorizing it.

ahayyy.... we're the same.first time I don't know what's for "poke" application until my best friend poke me,then I poke her back.but... just what you said, it's never end!!there's no stop point but poke back.if we're stop to poke, the application won't stop, but keep raising,waiting for our response.
totally annoying!!

I have been on Facebook for years now,and still don't know what poke mean...lol. Yet a lot of my friends poke me daily,as i poke them back a new poke comes in.So i just ignore it now a days.
Some applications that i don't like i have them remove, and only us ethe application that i want to use.
But you can ignore the poke,once it is full you won't receive them any more.Do like me i just ignore the poke.

It's just a fun game that people play, I play poke with one fb user but other than that, I don't use it at all, actually I initially did it as a joke due to our conversation then she poked me back and ever since we been faithfully poking each other :-D
But ya, I definitely agree there's a time and place for everything, and some people don't like it, and that's okay.

I don't get the POKE system at all. I get tired of this so I don't mind people who are poking my wall. About some applications, it happens most of the time. The moment you use an application, it will give you a page that will inform you that they will post something on the wall.

I also don't mind if people are poking my wall. The notification is so small and it don't really bother me. About the applications and tags, I think you can change it in the settings. I also don't like it when people tagged me with pictures where I don't really have any idea what it is all about.

At first I thought it was sort of cute when people did poke as if it were a nudge like saying hi there. But then it became so redundant to the point that I would let the pokes just sit there.
I am with you with regards to the silly applications where it says so and so answered questions about you. Expecting us to accept the silly apps, just to see what silly things people said about us. Grrrr! lol

W ell i get a lot of of poke,but i never know what it mean.Some times i send it back are i just ignore it.
I hate the new chat ,and the video call Facebook need to go back to the old Facebook then people will understand it more.
You can block applications that your are not using,so that it won't show up on your wall.
For now you can ignore the poke, if you get them and don't send them back you won't get any more.
