Nothing says “I’m a plugged-in, cool guy with lots of money and charm” like a small RFID-capable dongle that you can rub against your friend’s RFID dongles to pass pertinent information. With that hypothesis in mind, we’ve teamed up with Poken to offer 10 CrunchGear branded Poken Pulses for you and your friends. Here’s how to win.
To enter, simply tell one of your friends to read CrunchGear and tell them to comment introducing themselves to the site. When they comment, you need to reply to their original comment. We’ll pick 5 pairs of winners – one goes to the new reader and one goes to the person who told them about CrunchGear. You can invite more than one person but you have to comment after each new person. You can also, feasibly, put a fake name so you get two Poken for yourself but you won’t because you’re not a douche.
See below for an example in comments.
We’ll close this contest on noon Monday. Special thanks to Start Poken to and their new service, Pokenize, a B2B customizing service that helps companies extend their social reach by connecting with Poken users.










Good afternoon. I’m Dave’s roommate. He invited me to this site. I hope I win a Poken. I also am a lady who wants to meet men who read gadget blogs!
I told my roommate John about CrunchGear.com, because “she” wants to meet guys who like to play with gadgets and sex toys. I’m not sure what a Poken is, but it sounds like a fun Saturday night to me!
“a small RFID-capable dongle that you can rub against your friend’s RFID dongles”
RFID is the only thing saving this sentence from a very embarrassing evening.
Why do i want this piece of manufactured plastic crap anyway? Oh, so I can replace my recyclable environment-friendly bizcard? No thank you!! This is duuuumb!
oh be nice.
Hi everyone, I’m Joel. Oo just told me about CrunchGear and from the comments so far it seems people don’t like the idea of this device, but I think it seems like a natural progression for the business card. All markets are gradually being taken to the next stage by the Internet, and it seems the time for the “business card” market has come.. Poken looks awesome, I’d love to see how well it works at events.
Phew! I get my Poken now :) So John, sending it by DHL? RoyalMail in UK is on strike.
Thanks a lot!

My friend Josh invited my to start reading CruchGear. Here it goes.
That’s Me! I want to see what’s this Poken thing all about.
Random fact: USB drives were responsible for the plethora of hacking attempts made on US military and secret service servers.
Now they’ve banned them at if not all of the government organisations that hold valuable and key information regarding the military etc.
