Miso Tunes Into Some Seed Funding For Check-Ins Based Around Content

Checking-in has so far mainly been thought about in terms of location. But there's a growing idea that it can be ported to other things as well -- such as checking-in when you're watching a movie or television show to let others know. That's the idea behind Miso, a product we first covered back in March following their first major movie partnership. Today, Miso has announced its seed financing and the alpha version of its website . Previously, Miso only existed as an iPhone app. (It's actually the second iPhone app the team behind Miso, BazaarLabs has come up with. Back at our Realtime Crunchup in November, they launched Flixup a sort of Rotten Tomatoes movie review aggregator based around what people are saying on Twitter.) But now, with a website, they should be able to broaden their reach.
