Finally, you can now ask the status of your Facebook friends through hitting the ask button. This button will let you know whether the person you like is in a relationship. If you are the one receiving the question, you don’t need to think of any lame reasons. Just don’t say anything.
You can now pry into your friends’ private affair on the social network and Facebook made it even simpler for you to do it.
Ask button has been there for users who seek more details about other people’s account. It can be used for stalking especially that it became now an option for knowing user’s relationship status as well.
"This feature provides an easy way for friends to ask you for information that's not already on your profile," MoMo Zhou, a Facebook spokesperson, told TechNewsWorld. "For example, a friend could ask where you work or for your hometown."
Once the user will respond to the ask button, automatically, the information will be displayed on his profile.
Zhou added that "By default, only you and your friend can see it, and you also have the option of sharing it with others.”
This new feature is actually closer to “Poke” where Face users can prompt their friends or friends of friends for different reasons like saying hello or trying to be noticed by them. Poke is like greeting a person you meet along the way.
Facebook is now working on a new app called “Slighshot” which also resembles to Snapchat app.
Based on TechNEwsWorld report, Lon Safko, who is a marketing and social media expert said, "I don't really think it's nosy. I think it will be received by Facebook members equally: Some will answer; some will say, 'there's a reason I set my status that way'; and some will just ignore it."
For Safko, Facebook’s ask button is a good idea, “If someone is interested in you, it might be nice to have a way to show that."
