POKEN: WHAT’S A POKEN?
It looks like a tiny voodoo doll with a gunshot wound in the middle of its forehead. It’s a little larger than a flash drive, and it lights up when around others of its kind. Meet the Poken. Poken? It may sound like some kind of frisky behavior, but no, this is the future of social media according to some.
I now have one of my very own. While socializing at an Atlanta Tweetup (#ypcity) for PR professionals, my name was announced during a drawing for three lucky recipients.
Here’s a video of the event courtesy @bsteve76. I didn’t bother to roll any tape, but thanks to Atlanta’s corps of social media video producers, no worries… The event was covered.
So what is a Poken exactly? It just so happens that yours truly and Grayson Daughters caught up with someone who knows what to do with it.
HARO’s Peter Shankman @skydiver shared his enthusiasm for the little usb device during a visit to the A not so long ago.
I met a bunch of new folks, and look forward to the Tweets and Poken around.
