Super Poke!

Super Poke!

Superpoke! and SuperPoke! Pets were Facebook and MySpace applications originally created by Nikil Gandhy, Will Liu and Jonathan Hsu. It was launched within a month of the creation of the Facebook Platform. Slide.com acquired the application, along with the trio, in 2007 and grew the application to become the most monthly active users Facebook application at one point. The application mimics Facebook's own "poke" feature, but adds new features such as the ability to smile, wink, slap, and smack friends on Facebook. The application previously also allowed users to virtually 'stab' a friend; Facebook later asked Slide.com to remove this option from the application.

SuperPoke! differentiated itself from other applications by introducing characters such as a sheep, chicken and penguin. These characters were originally designed by Kevin Ho. Superpoke! was shut down on September 27, 2011 and SuperPoke! Pets closed March 7, 2012
