Poking is basically a lazy way of saying hi. Instead of actually typing up a message or writing on someone's Wall, people will poke you. Maybe they want you to check out their profile and add them. But basically, it's like letting someone know they're thinking of you without actually having to write anything.

Poking is a bit of fun and getting someone's attention. Instead of sending a message they send a poke just to let people know they're thinking of them.
