What Does It Mean When You Poke Someone on FB?

I’m a bit confused about Facebook’s “poke” feature. Can someone explain what it actually means when you poke someone on FB? Is it just for fun, or does it have another purpose?
 
On Facebook, a poke is like a little nudge — it can mean “hi,” a way to get someone’s attention, or just a playful interaction. It doesn’t have a fixed meaning, so it’s usually up to the context or the relationship between you and the person.
