Hey all,

 

I might be posting in the wrong area, so if I have I apologise.

 

Does anybody know of a way to respond to pokes on Facebook WITHOUT having to visit the Facebook site on the browser? (E.g. Win 7 desktop gadgets that poke back via the gadget, or a toolbar plugin, or anything else I've not thought of)?

 

Any advice/help/pointers would be much appreciated!

 

Many thanks

Joseph

What is a poke?

I found this while looking on Google - It's a list of the most popular Facebook desktop apps. Hope this helps!

you could probably automatize the proces via ruby + watir library. you would have to set the ruby script to log you in, then to go to your facebook homepage, check if anyone poked you, then get the ID of the pokeback element and 'press' poke back... shouldn't be too much of a problem if you're willing to sit down and code a bit.

 

good luck
