Say goodbye to business cards
 |
Forget about classic business cards. Get yourself a Poken -- your social business card.
Poken is not a new social network. It’s just a tool for social networking which can be used offline (and online), when you meet people in the real world.
Poken allows people to exchange their contact (company name, address, phone number, email adress, photo) and social network details in seconds. Just hold 2 Pokens together and you’re already connected. It’s capable of storing up to 64 contacts, before you need to upload the details on to your computer.
At the moment, more than 40 social networks are supported: Bebo, Digg, Facebook, Flickr, Friendfeed, Friendster, Hi5, Last.fm, LinkedIn, Myspace, Netlog, Ning, Orkut, Plaxo, Twitter, Vimeo, etc.
It also supports Instant Messaging Services: AIM, GoogleTalk, ICQ, MSN, Skype and Yahoo! Messenger.
Here is a video, where the founder of Poken, Stephane Doutriaux, demonstrates how to Poken:
Do you Poken? Do you find it useful or useless?

OK, glede na to, da se vse skupaj vse hitreje premika proti skupnemu imenovalcu – elektronsko, se mi zdi dobra ideja, da se kaj takšnega naredi tudi na tem področju, kot je tole, da se združijo vsi profili, ki jih določen uporabnik premore. Je pa vprašanje, sli se bo to prijelo, ali je samo ena muha enodnevnica. Mogoče bi bilo bolje, glede na to, da je predstavitev na načelu poslovne vizitke, da bi bili sami pokeni bolj elegantni in ne v smislu igračke, kot jih je največ, čeprav po drugi strani je pa to spet verjetno poteza, ki bo privabila mlajše uporabnike. Sama ideja mi je všeč, z nakupom bom pa še vseeno malo počakala, da se zadeva razširi, ker v nasprotnem primeru jo nimaš kaj potrebovati.
