Cool idea, too bad it's not a cross-platform Smart Phone app like DUB is. Really Really cool idea, and I'm sure something amazing will come out of this idea someday! For me, I don't have time to carry around and keep track of yet another device, but I am very interested in it's tracking capabilities.

Also too bad it's not a cross-platform Smart Phone app don't work cross platform and update data dynamically. With Poken you don't need wireless access at the time, you don't need the same phone and when you change you data it changes with all the people you connected to at the same time. Thanks for the post! Martin

Really like the clarity, fun and presentation of this video, especially the interviews with Raleigh NC pokeneers.

Amy S: "It's easier [and]... better than a business card!...It's not an automatic connection, it's an opportunity for connection."

Angel L tells us how to use it.

Alex shows us the online connection Mac.

Pat H: "It brings the offline online and the online offline."

Greg H: "The information stays fresh."

Heather O tells us a privacy trick.

Rob L shows how to change the battery.
