its just a way to grab people's attention. if u poke a friend..it can be like teasing or way of telling that you have visited their profile. if u poke a stranger it can mean that you wish to initiate conversation..
A poke indicates that you are missing your friend..although you do not have anything to say as such, you just wish your friend was near
The poke feature can be used for a variety of things on Facebook. For instance, you can poke your friends to say hello. When you poke someone, they will receive a poke alert on their home page.

I also agree that it's just another way to say hello.. most people do it to flirt and such.. poke war can be pretty annoying
Poke is way to remind your friend that you are browsing his/her profile. We can use it for grabbing our friends attention.
Interference in other’s business is what we call poking. May be one can interfere in other friends activities too by poking. I’ve never tried myself, may be I should try so.
when you are not response your friends for a long time in facebook then may poke you to get your attention.
