File this under the category of “I need this, but didn’t know I needed it ’til now.” Poken is a token (though it also works on your smartphone) that lets you touch a fellow conference attendee’s badge, or a brochure or just about anything else and it’ll download the relevant info attached to it. With people, it provides links to all of their social networks. With docs, it provides an electronic copy so you don’t have to carry it around.
What’s really neat is that it files things in the ORDER in which you encounter them. So you have your social graph mapped onto your chronological one. Sweet.
(tip of the hat to fellow Burson person Beth Torgersen for sharing this with me!).
