More Fans 'Checking In' to TV Series

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