Not really caring to invest in it, I shrugged the product aside until we received a promotional disk shipment. I told my boss I was going to take one home and check out the Doko Drop site, as it were. Once I logged in and registered the Doko I picked up, I started to read about the whole concept and how the system works. Really, for the younger kid/parent relationship system: It's considerably cheaper than the Webkinz we see on a day-to-day basis and allows for kids to create a cool little social system by trading dokos with one another while also seeing if they can get their Doko to travel distances. For high schoolers and young adults: This audience can also find amusement in the system. As a high school student, I saw a messenger bag that you can earn with points on the Doko Drop web page and decided I'd work towards it; in the process, I also wanted to see the miles my Doko traveled, so, I told my best friend to give a Doko that I have (in Wisconsin) to her boyfriend in Indiana to really test the system and we are enjoying how this is working. Doko Drop seems to be a great new system and is really making their stand here.

Once you see what it is all about, it is really quite interesting and different. When you register a Doko you trade it and see where it goes. My son's already traveled 34 miles. I am not sure what they will cost but regardless, it beats the Club Penguin subscription I get shaken down for every month. My son got one of the Doko at the Toys R Us in NYC a last week.

Allowing kids around the world to connect safely? I think that's pretty cool. What better way to make a better world than having the next generation realize that for the most part they are all the same? Look at their globe - there are [apparently] tweens all over the world using it already. Curious to see where it goes... I checked it out and actually think it’s got some serious potential.

They can slice and dice this a dozen ways. Add a hole and make the discs wearable after the trade has expired.
