Kosher To Poke On Facebook?

Luke Ford writes: I discuss the weekly Torah portion with Rabbi Rabbs Mondays at 7:00 pm PST on the Rabbi Rabbs cam and on YouTube. Facebook Fan Page.

This week we study Parashat Shofetim (Deuteronomy 16:18-21:9).

Is it kosher to poke someone on Facebook? Aren't you simulating a sexual act? Or does it just mean a poke in the ribs? What is the true meaning of poking on Facebook?
