Poke War! Facebook Pokes Now Update In Real-Time

In case Facebook Poking wasn't addictive enough, the Pokes page recently began updating in real time. That means you can leave your finger on the trigger and poke back the instant a friend pokes you. I've heard from a Facebook employee the feature was built by an intern, and bless their soul. Or curse it if you have something important to do, because you'd be surprised how quickly you can get sucked into a real-time poke war.
