Poken vs. Apple iPhone |

I said it many times. Currently Twitter is a fad. The celebs and others will jump to the next thing. Then Twitter will settle down and go to it's next stage of life. Look at eBay, it is dying. The fad of selling stuff at auction has passed. No longer do they have media time devoted to "stuff sold on eBay". If they do, it is now rare. It used to make the news once a week.
Frisbees were a fad in teh 60's. They sold far more back then. I know, I have had lunch with the founders when I was in the toy and hobby business.
If I got one, I would be delighted, I would ad it to my neat gadgets in my showcase in my house. Alone will other neat items.
I just would not carry it around. It means another thing in my pocket that I have to track. Now women may carry it in their handbag.
My cell phone is quite small and I ma dreadingthe fact I am shopping for a G-phone as it is larger.
No idea what Letterman has to do with this. He also drops things in a giant tank of water. Does that mean it is serious also?
The celebs are not endorsing Twitter, rather they are keeping in contact with their real barometer of worth, their fans.
Next time I see Seth I will ask him. It has been a while but he may stop into a networking event of a common friend filled with peopel that support his early efforts. That group start as Company of Friends on Fast Company.
As to the device.
I can see it being used at events, and that event requiring you to go to their website to get your contacts.
I do not see people carrying them around. Remember your business card is an extention of your image. You will lose that with Poken transfers.
For very young kids I see Ddisney [or others] giving them out as part of a club and kids connecting with other kids in class.
BTW Lamar why don't you post a recent photo?Private Reply to Scott Wolpow (new win) |
