Social Networking gone a step too far?



I'm Poken you

Poken

Look at this shite. These are little characters you carry around with you and they store all your social networking information. If you are lucky enough to meet someone else with a "poken" then all you have to do is make them "high-5" and that exchanges the contact information between them and when you next sign onto your social network profile, you will automatically be added to the other person's friends list.

These are priced at around $20 a pop and will no doubt be the next craze to go around schools.

A pile of money wasting shite if you ask me. Who the hells going to buy a miniature character to swap social networking information with someone else? Ten year olds that's who, but wait most if not all social networks have an age limit on how old people can be before they can sign up.

Oh looks like the Poken people just shot themselves in the foot. Unless theres a certain clique of older people who decide it will be hip and cool to have one, then it's just lame.


I can imagine someone going up to another person in a bar and being like hey you got a poken?

Definitely the way forward in meeting new people.
