It's a pretty pointless feature it just sends them a notification saying you've poked them to which they can 'poke you' back.
It doesn't do much to be honest, I think its meant to be a kind of greeting thing but a lot of people just find it annoying

It means "lets play"

Heh. It doesn't really mean anything. It's just a random thing Facebook created
If they poke you, you can always poke back- on Facebook that is

It's just a reminder to make contact with the person who poked you.

It's like physically tapping somebody to get his attention without saying anything. It could be taken as a silent 'hi, how are you? I'm here.'

Hi vini,
1) What is a poke? How do I poke someone?
When you poke someone, they'll receive a notification that you've poked them. People poke their friends on Facebook for a variety of reasons. For instance, you can poke your friend just to say hello.
To poke a friend:
Go to their timeline
Click in the top right corner
Click Poke
2) What happens when I poke someone?
When you poke someone, they'll see the poke icon along with your name when you're logged in on your desktop computer. The person you poke may also receive a notification.
Only the person you poke can see that you've poked them.
3) Can I get a poke back after I remove it?
Once you remove a poke from your homepage, you can't get it back. But you can still poke back. Removing a poke also allows the other person to poke you again.
Thanks and Best Regards,
