Poken Destruction – How to Make Friends

Poken is a technology that utilizes Near Field Communication technology to allow the exchange of online social networking data between two keychain accessories.

They can be used to connect people with Internet profiles like Facebook, Xing or other social networks. All you need to do is let the hands touch each other. Later you connect your Poken to your computer and synchronize it with the Poken servers.
In theory a pretty cool idea. But in Switzerland Poken has not yet lifted off much. All people that have one are already connected with each other. So what to do? Ralph had the great idea to destroy them.

So we met today, on a rainy, cloudy day to destroy our Pokens. The big question you know have is how we destroyed them. That is the fun part.

We used a steamroller! This is incredible fun. Just check out my pictures and see for yourself.
And yes, we must be nuts to do such a thing 🙂

Thanks to Ralph for organizing and all other parties involved. Was really fun and enjoyable.
I wonder what the official word at Poken is about our destruction 😉
