Okay how do I poken with someone?
to poken someone (meaning exchanging your social business card data with another person) is very easy.
both of you should hold onto the body of the poken so that the other half of the poken, its hand, is free. both pokens need to ‘look’ at each other. put the two poken hands together for about 2 seconds without moving. this should already be enough to exchange contacts.
you can check whether you have pokened successfully by taking the pokens apart again after the 2 second ‘touch’. if there is a green light glowing in both poken hands, you have pokened! the green light continues to glow for about 5 seconds, so you shouldn’t miss it.
if the light flashes red, this means that the data exchange has not succeeded. maybe you moved the hands too much when touching the other, or you pokened too quickly again right after pokening with someone else. in any case you should wait until no more light is flashing (green or red) before pokening with someone. to stop the palm from glowing, just press the button once.
