Taking a page from GetGlue, Facebook now offers a way for users to share what they are watching, reading, listening to, eating, drinking, or feeling.

This is reminiscent of the old GetGlue when you could check-in to more that just movies, television, or sports.

New Facebook Status Options

Could the social media mammoth make a move into the social TV space? Or, could this be an opportunity for a future partnership with the long-standing social TV site GetGlue?

Will GetGlue seek to integrate their check-ins with this new feature? Is this something you will use?
