Poken is a new arrival to African shores that intends on basically redefining the “business card”. In its appearance it looks like a cartoon-character object that might be yet another fancy USB drive.
The way it works is relatively simple; you insert the flash drive Poken into your PC and set up your profile, when you meet another Poken holder you can exchange details with them by touching Pokens. A glowing green light means that the information has been transferred. You can then control the contacts on your Poken by inserting its flash drive onto your PC.
It solves the problems that can often occur with business cards; they get misplaced, they run out, and there is also the cost of business cards to take into account. With the move towards online networking, Poken provides an easy solution, removing the tediousness of searching for people online. Poken currently supports LinkedIn, Facebook and, usgang, a Swiss social network, with plans to expand further into other networks.
For Poken to be effective, it still has to be adopted by a large number of people. Without this obstacle, it has the potential to become an important tool in the future of networking.
