An iPhone application called Miso lets users “check in” to movies and TV shows that they’re watching, posting updates to other social networks and letting marketers send targeted messages. The network is one of a growing crop of “Foursquare-for-FILL-IN-THE-BLANK” networks that are applying Foursquare’s “check in” metaphor to events rather than just places, notes MG Siegler. TechCrunch

I downloaded the app today, we’ll see how it plays out. So far – I like that it easily integrates with Facebook, Twitter & Foursquare (extra bonus).

In T-minus a few days (yippie!) I’ll be among the masses in Austin for this year’s Nerd Spring Break 2010 (that is SXSW of course). There are entirely too many events to keep up with. Which is why, I am being quite friendly with Plancast.

Being the nerd that I am, I figured out how to sync my Plancast with my GCal (google calendar) which will then of course be on my iPhone. Do you follow?

A few moments after posting this fun fact on twitter, the lovely Sydney Owen wanted to do the same. So, I decided to share my ohh so top secret ways of making plancast and gcal be friends.

1. Go to your profile page on plancast. Mine is http://plancast.com/elysa
2. Right click the little Red iCal icon at the top.
3. Click “Copy Link Locations“
4. Open up Google Calendar
5. At the bottom left under “Other calendars” click Add
6. From the drop-down you will want Add by URL
7. and voila GCal and Plancast are now married, or at least dating.

And if you wanna be the ultimate nerd like me, you can import your my.sxsw.com for your panel choices, and add Plancast for parties and put then all together into a fun calendar to share. Checkout Elysa @ SXSW

There are a multitude of Best Of 2009 posts circulating around the interwebz lately. The following (ridiculous) video comes from GeekSugar’s Top 10.

Ashton Kutcher Explains Twitter to Kelly Ripa

The king of Twitter appeared on Live! With Regis and Kelly earlier this year, and explained the inner workings of the social networking platform to Kelly. Hilarity ensued.

I’m a fan of Foursquare (and GoWalla) and pretty much any location based social network. Today I found Where Do You Go (via Steven Ray), which creates a heat map of my Foursquare checkins.
