TV fans have been “checking in” to their favorite series — i.e., alerting their Facebook friends what shows they are watching at a given moment — at the rate of 10,000 check-ins per day on TVGuide.com, according to officials.

TV check-ins are the tube’s answer to the growing trend of people checking in at restaurants and bars via applications such as Foursquare and Facebook. Several startups, including GetGlue, have been popularizing the activity with TV — which broadcast networks love, given that the practice would seem to encourage live viewing.
