A tool on facebook used to get other's attention. Like the facebook feed's endless scroll, the function depends to some extent on dopamine. But even more, it carries sexual connotations as a phallic gesture, prompting users to use it as a flirtation device (even if the two pokers aren't exactly on the same page). For this reason there is long standing debate as to whether the function is distinctly sexual. One thing's for sure though, it gets people excited, and puts some (perhaps lonely people) in the mood for procreation; its simplicity lends it to become a fertile ground for projecting one's desires.
"Hey John, I think Lisa loves me."
"Why's that?"
"She gave me a facebook poke after the party the other night, and we've been poking each other constantly since"
"You don't think she's just bored and happy to see a friend?"
"Doesn't that mean she's dtf?"
"Is that what love means to you?"

Get the Facebook Pokemug. In a collective effort, facebook friends of one person steal and adopt his/her profile picture, and each tag the original owner in their new pic. Then the group then likes and comments on everyone's new profile pic, ensuring a barrage of notifications for the target person. Works much better if the adopted picture is in any way scandalous.
Last night while Matt was out to dinner with his parents, 10 of us got him with a facebook flashmob. His phone must have buzzed non stop with notifications!
