Do you Poken?

Hands up who knows what this little chap is.

Poken social business cards

Me neither until yesterday when I was lucky enough to be in a meeting with social networking expert Ian McKendrick (www.ianmckendrick.com). Towards the end of the meeting Ian produced a bag full of Pokens which are social business cards. 


To get started you simply plug your Poken into your PC/Macs USB port, a webpage opens automatically and there you add all of your details including Facebook and Twitter accounts. Once all of your information is saved onto your Poken you attach it to your key ring and then whenever you meet someone with a Poken you simply touch your Pokens together to swap details.  You can download all of the contacts you have collected into email programs such as Outlook.


You can purchase Pokens for £15 from Ian or you can find out more at www.poken.com.


I’ve no idea how popular they are at the moment so if you have a Poken please tweet @camweb with the word poken.
