Checking in, in terms of social interactions, is like a deconstructed form of interacting. I've been thinking about how we've deconstructed personal interactions, and how we've arrived at these one-button-click/automated communiques:

Meeting in person > talking on phone > sending an e-mail > sending an SMS > posting on someone's wall > creating a general friend-syndicated update > [<poke>, <like>, <check-in>]

I can't imagine that is sufficient interaction in the long run.
