Miso Gets Big Brand Love. Check-In To The Hot Tub Time Machine

For the past few years, being the "Twitter for FILL-IN-THE-BLANK" has been a popular trend among startups. Now, we're starting to see a shift. Several new startups are launching as the "Foursquare for FILL-IN-THE-BLANK." And big brands are actually starting to take notice. Miso is an iPhone app that incorporates the "check-in" idea with watching movies and television shows. So, for example, if you're watching that NCAA Tournament this weekend, you can check-in to let your friends what you're doing. You can then send these check-ins to Twitter, Facebook, or yes, Foursquare, checking you in there in the process (assuming you've also attached an actual location to your movie/TV show check-in).
