Whether you paid attention to it or not, the Poke App created by Facebook is now gone.
Personally, I forgot the app existed, let alone the option of 'poking' someone on their mobile app or desktop site. Unlike the usual pokes we're used to seeing Facebook, the Poke App also allowed users to send pictures, text, and video for up to 10 seconds until they disappear. Sound familiar?
This app sounds like an identical twin to SnapChat, except the Poke App was created a year later a clearly not as popular as SnapChat.
The few who actually used this app I'm sure are devastated. As for me (and probably the rest of us) I'm unaffected. Don't worry though guys, the original, pointless Facebook Poke that has been around since it's birth in '04 is still around, just not publicly.
