DoYouPoken?

Playing with new toy that people around the office are all buying from Ingo, who has seemed to have started a bit of a trend.


A tangible social networking device for the super geeky...(www.doyoupoken.com)

For 10 euros, you get a little RFID-enabled USB device where you can upload all your social networking data (Facebook, LinkedIn, Xing, Flickr, Plaxo, etc.) and then when you meet someone on the street who also has a device, touch them together, watch the little light turn green - data exchanged.

Interesting way to link the tangible to the digital.
Then, upload the data you've collected via USB.


Finally, manage your little poken profile online:


And of course, there are whole communities springing up at the moment around the toy. Ingo thinks they should distribute these things in McDonald's happy meals...I'm not so sure.


Anyway, fun for the moment. Or the minute.
