What is the meaning of poke on facebook

What is the meaning of poke on facebook?

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

The poke is a feature of Facebook whose sole purpose is to attract the attention of another user. The only thing that happens when you poke someone is that this person receives a poke alert on his or her home page.

As pokes attract the attention of a user, they can be used for various different things and thus have different meanings. You can, for instance, poke a friend just as a way of saying “Hello.”
Another answer:
A poke has no real meaning. It could mean anything from, "Hello, I'm still alive. Notice me." to "If I don't have my money in three hours, I'm going to sodomize your dog and sell your children to Cambodian sweatshops."

As far as Facebook's feeble-minded pokers go, it's probably one more passive-aggressive outlet for your friendly neighborhood profile stalkers to use.
Athor answer:
1.A “poke” is basically someone trying to get your attentionIt’s one of the meaningless features that are used just to annoy someone.

2.If you poke someone not in your network and they poke back. You can view their profile even if your not their friend!

3.A poke is when you allow someone to see your facebook page for 3 days, so they can know who you are and hopefully add you as a friend

Another answer:
 
it's something that's friendly and flirty and it's sort of an icebreaker if you don't want a conversation it just sort of reminds you that someone is thinking about you or whatever. it basically has the same significance as someone smiling at you when they walk past you. it's kind of dumb but that's the only purpose.
another answer:
 I will tell you its meaning in Hindi

poke ka matlab hai kisi ko UKSANA
for exp- you are not giving reply or sending msg t your friend then for their attention they may poke you.
to ager tumhe koi msg ya reply nahi kar raha hai facebook per to uske tum UKSA sakte ho poke ke dwara
i hope it help you
Another answer:
 Poke most commonly refers to the action of tapping and/or softly jabbing an object or person using a finger, stick, or similar object etc
