GetGlue is one of a few companies battling it out in the Foursquare-for-TV space, and coming this New Years Eve, you can “check in” for CNN and MTV stickers.
Just check into CNN’s “New Years Eve Live” or MTV’s “New Years Bash” live broadcasts on New Years night — from your GetGlue app on your phone or iPad — and you’ll get a custom sticker. And unlike Foursquare, GetGlue actually sends you a real sticker in the mail.
Like similar companies TunerFish and Miso, GetGlue lets you see what your friends are watching. It also works for books, music and video games, too, generating recommendations based on your behavior.
For TV programmers, the hope is that “check ins” will drive viewership, bringing back some of the “shared experience” of television that on-demand technology is splintering.
