What did you do with it when you got back to the office? Maybe you scanned in the business cards and spent the time fixing OCR mistakes. Maybe you tossed the marketing materials. Maybe you manually typed in those business cards into your email client. Whatever the case may be, it is time consuming.

Your time is criticaly important to you. As a professional and/or a business owner efficency is what makes your job easier. Poken had solved a number of problems that are a drag on business owners and professionals.


Pokens
A Poken is an electronic business card. Simply put, when two are paired together they exchange a unique identification number that is associated with your free account on Poken.com. At the end of the day you will plug you Poken into your USB port on your computer and syncronize it with your account. Once you approve your connections you have access to their shared contact information, electronicly. Now you can export their vCard and import it into your email client. That saves you time.

Poken also help you share which social networks you are on. For example, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Hi5, FriendFeed, Bebo, Plaxo and about 40 more. Poken is adding more networks all the time. By organizing your relevent information like this you can improve how efficently you locate and add people to your network.
