X Me Facebook Application

What is the X Me Facebook Application?

X Me was developed by Jia Shen. This little app creates more actions besides the classic “poke.” When you open the app, you’re taken to a window where you get to enter in your different actions you want added to your profile. The app also gives you a list of the top 10 actions right now. As of this writing “hug, slap, and bitch slap” are the top three. You can also see which of your friends are using this app.

There is a similar app out there called “Superpoke.” I haven’t tried it out yet, but I will soon and give you a report.

X Me Pros

• Let’s you mix things up a bit instead of having the simple poke.
• I liked how I could see which of my friends are using this.

X Me Cons

• People have reported some bugs. I didn’t have any problems with it.
• This isn’t a critique of the app itself, but the apps discussion board has topics that have nothing to do with the app. For example, “Bible: Fact or Fiction?” Huh?

If you’re tired of just being poked by your friends, give X Me a try. Personally, I’ve never understood the whole concept of poking. I can see apps like X Me being used by young people to show their love interest in another person. Instead of calling, enamored girl will give her crush a “hug” instead of a “poke.” If she really wanted to show her interest, she might opt for the “kiss.” Ah. Facebook love.
