Project Facebook-Poke Results
February 26, 2007
26 hours after my first round of poking, Facebook finally lifted my poking ban. While finishing up the last hundred or so on my friends list, I encountered the message “You are approaching the limit for poking. Slow down or you’ll hit a temporary block!”
And as of the time of writing, I’ve had another 83 poke-backs. Hmm…doing a bit of frightening math: I poked 340 people and received 134 pokes back, therefore, 39.4% poked me back within two days of being poked. I will scientifically deduce that 39.4% of my friends have no life outside of Facebook. And apparently one of my friends is two-fifths of a person.
Not too shabby. We’ll see how the remaining responses trickle in over the next week or so.

Maybe there is a journal called “Journal of Internet Relations Research” or something like that where you could publish your findings! I think you have a talent for conducting research experiments.

I always poke back, even though I hate poking. But some people are really into it.
I have a couple friends that I don’t talk to at all. We just poke. They’re not that interesting people.
