Recently SE Tech Support (See Tech Support) was introduced to a new little piece of technology called a Poken. At first we were skeptical about what this was and why it is important to the new world of business networking.

The biggest problem with a business card is that you get a hand full of them by the end of a networking event and you aren’t even sure who these people are and why you talked to them in the first place. The idea moving forward with new technology is to solve the problem of the ever growing pile of business cards that never end up getting back into your local contacts via Outlook or other mail program that most people use to handle their contacts.

There is a new little thing out there that can make our lives so much easier. This new item is the Poken. This cute little piece of equipment breaks down to being a little USB device that connects directly into your computer and even directs to you the website to allow you to manage your contacts directly through them. There is even a nice way to download from the website to your mail contact managers. The nice thing is directly on the Poken website you get a timeline that includes everything including a picture if the user has uploaded one. This allows for a little easier recognition of who you have met and when. This also allows for you to get a lot of their social networks that they are registered with if they have linked it to their account. Also, since it is on a website it lets you have immediate updates if they change any of their information. If this has you curious and wondering what this thing is check out their website at Poken.
