To mark the launch of the new Facebook app Paper, Mark Zuckerberg has given a lengthy interview with Bloomberg Businessweek. Speaking about the company's Poke app, which was thought to be a Snapchat competitor but failed to make an impact, Zuckerberg dismisses the app as "more of a joke." Apparently unconcerned by Poke's poor performance, he explains that "a few people built it as a hackathon thing, and we made one release and then just kind of abandoned it and haven’t touched it since."
