How have you used your Poken? How would you contrast it to the iPhone "Bump"? I got a Poken a few weeks ago and have had fun find friend in Raleigh NC that also have one. I see it as a new electronic business card that includes all your social Media sites. Do you plan on getting a Poken, if so which one? Do you have one, if so which one?

I do however question the fact that for each new organization, they will need to fund their activities separately and hit up their membership for dues. In a down economy, one can only afford to be a member of one or maybe two but most certainly not all.

Subsequently the motivation changed to picking brains on the LinkedIn Q&A. Thereafter it changed to making more connections and now I return to enjoy reading Q&A. And the add on application such as readers list; blogs and slide share keeps the interest fluid .

Developers who don't go into management prefer to become architects and move away from knowing lower level details. What types of risk does this uncover for their US clients? How deeply should clients understand this phenomena? professional-development/professional-networking technology/enterprise-software Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:46:34 GMT http://www.linkedin.com/answers/professional-development/professional-networking/PRO_PNT/570304-20342329 http://www.linkedin.com/answers/technology/blogging/TCH_BLG/505838-23753864 Recently I joined Twitter (http://twitter.com/mcgoverntheory).
