Facebook rolls out "self-destructing" pokes (of course, they'll still
be saved)

http://j.mp/VcAwgZ  (PC World)

   "Facebook has reinvented its Poke feature with a new standalone iOS app
    that lets you send messages, photos and videos to your friends on the
    social networking service that disappear within 10 seconds of someone
    opening them."

Let see how long it takes someone to build a simple way for people to
screenshot and/or otherwise save these in an undetectable (by
Facebook) fashion, not to mention cell phone cameras ready to go.  And
does Facebook keep a record of all these?  We can assume so.  I've
always thought the choice of the term "poke" told us a lot about
Zuckerberg.
