Go Get Poken!

Author note: I am not being paid a cent for this post...this is a product review for my friend Andi and an enthusiastic plug for her business. :-)

My blogging friend Andi recently sent me a couple of Pokens, these cute little animated things with a big hand and a hidden USB. No, these are not some kind of toys that kids collect, they're actually used for exchanging your social media info with others. Sort of like saying, "Hey, let's share business cards."

I have to say, these things are really cool. Andi sent me two and I gave one to my husband. He loaded up his MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn accounts in less than a few minutes. I did the same for my accounts, and then, like something reminiscent of the Power Rangers, we traded our social media digits by touching our Pokens together. Oh wow, that sounds dirty. Ha!

To exchange social media info, simply match up the
white hand with hand of your recipient...the circle part in the
middle of the hand will glow green to indicate the info transfer!
It's so futuristic!

I can see where this tool would come in very handy at a conference where you're likely to meet other social media enthusiasts. Of course, the only downside is that the other person might not have a Poken. If that's the case, be sure to show them yours and spread the word about these nifty gadgets! Apparently Pokens are all the rage throughout Europe.

Andi, who has a full-time job, still manages to somehow run a successful business in her spare time, called Your Online Go To Gal. If you, or maybe your company, is looking for someone to help make sense of the online social media world, Andi's your Go To Gal! She also has a page on her site for info about Poken, including a couple of YouTube videos that explain the tool.

Thanks, Andi, for the opportunity to test run these cute little guys. We are now Poken converts!
