Just met up with some pals in Akiba from Poken.
Poken is a digital business card that will allow you to swap information like facebook accounts, twitter, flickr, and blogs just by touching the hand of your Poken to the hand of another persons Poken. They are available in Europe and Danny helped them get a start here in Japan. You can learn more about them at

The Poken above are my Panda Poken and the brand new Poken Pulse, a new business aimed model that includes flash memory. There are lots of new poken due out soon including a Mirai Poken!
Poken are pretty handy for me since I go through business cards so fast and it save me from having to type in all the info from the cards I get. Business cards (名刺) are very important in Japan.
Do you have a business card or a Poken? Can you buy a Poken where you live?
