Poken is an interesting ’social business card.’ But it doesn’t look like any business card you’ve ever seen.
A Poken contains your contact information and social networks. Rather than the ancient ritual of shaking hands (or rubbing bodies), rub two Pokens together and there will be a “glow”— a signal you’ve shared your stuff with another person. When the Poken is slipped into a computer’s USB port, the data is downloaded. This product is called a Poken Spark.
According to the website:
Poken holds your contact information: name, address, email, mobile phone, and the rest, and it also holds your social networking account names. Poken contains your FaceBook, Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn and other accounts.
Already know all your friends’ profiles? Even better. When you Poken and they Poken, you’ll automatically have updates when they open a new social networking account.

Hmm… I wonder if Pokens could store information on house listings?
