Hot Potato 2.0 Lets You “Check-In” While You’re Doing Anything

When Hot Potato launched at our Realtime Crunchup last November it was already a solid app . Then came a new version in March (just before SXSW), and it was even better . Today brings version 2.0 -- and it's the best yet. And it's also different. When it first launched, Hot Potato was basically an iPhone app that let you build a social stream around events happening at any given moment. Right before SXSW, the newer version of the app added killer Foursquare integration, and tied everything together with the service's website. The update today shifts the focus away from events, and makes it about all kinds of activities. Really, anything in the world you may be doing, you can now "check-in" while you're doing it on Hot Potato. It's actually pretty cool.
