Check.in Checks Out Of Closed Beta And Into Your HTML5-Compatible Device

Back in March, I wrote about the problem of check-in fatigue . That is, with so many location-based check-in services now out there, it's exhausting to open each one every time to check-in to the same place across multiple networks. The solution , for now at least, is Check.in . And it's ready to open to everyone tonight. Check.in is an HTML5 web app made by Brightkite that allows you to check-in to a venue on multiple location-based services. Those services including Foursquare, Gowalla, and of course, Brightkite. This works by taking advantage of those services' APIs alongside some backend place matching that Brightkite does on its end. The result is being able to check-in across multiple services in a few seconds rather than taking a few minutes to load up the various apps and hit the required buttons on each to check-in.
