This week’s edition of Sweet Tweets is being sponsored by PokenGirl.com. Wooohooo!!
I first met Vanessa Swanepoel (@PokenGirl), the driving force behind PokenGirl.com, at IZEA Fest in October. I sheepishly admitted to her that although I had heard of pokens, I had no idea what the hell they were. She and her sister, Juliet Keane laughed then showed me what these little gadgets were all about. They were even nice enough to give me one of my own. 
I was immediately blown away by the simplicity of this new innovation. It’s also a great conversation starter! — Perfect for networking and connecting.
A poken is simply a digital business card. Can you say bye bye designing, printing, schlepping, and losing paper business cards?! You can edit your profile and contact information online then start “high-fouring” with other poken users (pokens only have four fingers, duh). When you touch pokens, (that sounds dirty) you exchange information electronically. The device plugs into your computer USB port. Very cool, if you ask me.
For the next four weeks, PokenGirl.com will be giving away a poken to the person with the funniest tweet of the week - as voted on by YOU! Please vote in the comments below. Voting will end on Monday, January 25 at 12:00pm (noon).
This week we are giving away the popular ninja poken! In the coming days/weeks, you may submit funny tweets for consideration to speedraser72[at]gmail[dot]com with “Sweet Tweets” in the subject line.
Enjoy!

John, love the post! We’re so excited to be part of this. Very fun.
My favorite tweet is @druboyer’s because Pharrell is awesome. I wish Andrew and Skateboard P both had a poken so I could high four them.
Vanessa,
Thanks so much for stepping up and sponsoring this month’s series! I’m pumped!
And I agree, @druboyer is quickly becoming one of my favorite tweeters! But, you lost me at Andrew and Skateboard P! lol

Okay, I have to admit I snickered at the ‘Fart on an airplane’ and then LOL’ed at CopyBlogger! Great post John - Sweet Tweets indeed
@Heather Thanks Heather! Glad you enjoyed it! So who gets your vote? Brian Clark (@copyblogger) or @MollyTheWineDog?
My vote is for @MollytheWhineDog! Definitely cracked up since my dogs like to fart at inopportune times.
@Ashley haha good choice
I think that’s everyone’s dogs. Thanks for voting!
Apparently some people were confused about how to vote because I keep getting email votes.
Along the lines of @Forces2 comment, if ever I had tWITter twins, I’d choose @ezrabutler & @druboyer.
So maybe I butchered that whole idea, but truth is, they’re both highly entertaining and more enjoyable than my Strawberry Delight Mini-Wheats.
I vote for the @DruBoyer tweets, both of them. Can I do that?
I vote for @Sacca “who do you call if a tow truck is illegally parked” –> I use to ask my self the same question when I was little lol =)
Congratulations for @druboyer! The ninja poken’s on its way!
@Katie HAHA! I can just picture you grinding over the wittiness of your post! ;-P Good stuff.
@Tania things that make you go hmmmm…. thanks for voting!
Thanks for voting guys…I’m flattered #forserious. Can I use hash tags here?
@druboyer There were a ton of votes that came in via email. Apparently there was some confusion on how to vote. I’ll make sure to clarify next time. But, you won in a landslide! Congrats buddy! Let me know how you like it.
Loving the sweet tweets!!
