Applies to the world of Facebook, where users have the ability to "poke" someone. This does nothing execpt informing the recepient of the poke has in in fact been poked. Then then poke back. And then the original poker pokes back the poke backer who then pokes back...etc etc. This is known as a poke war.
Poke wars accomplish nothing, except of course when one participant finally gives in, relinquishing their soul and any dignity that is attached to it.
Note: Poke wars can also be a semi-pathetic attempt at actually having human contact or just flirting in general without having to worry about following up in any way.

A grueling battle of wits and stamina. Opponents often develop 'poke-vision', ignoring important events and needs such as eating, sleeping, and writing PhD proposals.
Steve was locked in a poke war with Kate. He knew dinner was ready, but every time he went to leave the computer, that little red flag would pop up again and he'd have to poke back.

A "war" on face book, in which one user "pokes" the other using the popular feature. Then they engage in a "war" by poking each other back and forth. Often used a mediocre substitute for flirting, leading to nothing at all.
Carlye will never win the poke war with me, but what she doesn't know if that I am just using this to flirt with her.

When two people poke each other on Facebook. The winner is decided when the opponent fails to return the poke within one day.
