A lotta weeks back, I spent a day Poking everyone, just for the fun of it but I can scratch all that because it began counting toward these achievements 8/28/12 when they announced these.
So this is what counts & what doesn't:
If you get poked, you get a notice in your feed. Poking back from here doesn't count. (I right click on the name & open their page in a new tab to poke them, then ignore their poke. I found out if you click their name and poke them, it takes them out of your notices too.)
If you already poked them, poking them again doesn't count again.
If you poked them & it counted toward the achievements yesterday, it doesn't count today.
Poke from the page of someone you haven't poked since the achievement began. That's it! The only way for it to count.

Things aren't the same now.. dunno why but USE ALL THE POKES and they are counted .. right now, anyway! so WEAR OUT that poke button!!
So far as I have heard, 500 is the limit on how many times you can Poke a day. (that just sounds weird to say)
JUST FOR FUN:
TELL ME - How many times did you hit the FU Proposal button by mistake while you are poking everyone??
I swear it took til now to miss it on a regular basis....
I hit Propose one out of three times I went for the Poke when I first started yesterday!!
