Social Media Release

Poken Chicago! Pokens now available in the Windy City

PokenChicago.com Poken Store now Open

11.05.2009 – 11.2.2009 – Poken Chicago, offering the Midwest’s largest and latest selection of the popular social networking virtual business card, launched today under the leadership of Chicago native and social media veteran Mike Fielding.

Chicagoans can now buy Pokens right from their own backyard. So expect to start seeing Pokens around Chicago – and if you’re interested in checking them out in person, just let Fielding know.

Pokens are USB-based key chain attachments that make the transition from real-world interaction to online social networking easier. They hold all your contact information: name, address, e-mail, mobile phone, and the rest, as well as dozens of social networking accounts, including Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and LinkedIn. 



Pokens use short-range radio frequency to transfer the data from one Poken to the next in a matter of seconds. There’s no longer a need to scribble screen names, URLs and e-mail addresses. To transfer data, just tap Poken-to-Poken. Then, just plug the Poken into a USB port, and the data is transferred to your personal poken profile at www.doyoupoken.com. It’s that simple – and that safe. Lose your Poken and simply log in, mark it as lost and lock down all your data.



Each poken stores up to 64 new contacts and warns its owner when it’s nearly full. Don’t worry about sharing any IDs you don’t want to, either, because your online poken account lets you choose which of your profiles you want to share. The new Poken Pulse, designed specifically for the business executive, sports a 2GB USB drive and can hold almost unlimited contacts.



So upload all your social networking information and start carrying it around with you today. Express yourself with your panda, alien, ninja, geisha, rapstar or vampire or get your hands on a new customizable Poken Pulse, Poken’s social business card for the executive. It’s all at pokenchicago.com.
