What is it?
It's a Poken.
How does it work? Straight from the Poken website, "The poken hand pulls out of the body, revealing a USB connector. Insert the USB connector into any computer with web access to easily upload your new contacts to the Poken web database."
Pokens are being referred to as the new business card, but for professionals or students? They transfer social media information that include Facebook, MySpace, twitter, Readit, LinkedIn, Stumble Upon, etc. by connecting the 'hands' of the Pokens to each other.
The fun, yet interesting choices, for the designs of the Pokens seem to lessen the desire for professionals to stop printing business cards. It's a great idea, but let's just wait and see when they decide to target a new, more mature audience.
