Getting rewards for Amazon, Best Buy, Burger King, Fandango, Sephora, and Starbucks just for watching a TV show? That's what I call some lean-back entertainment—and shopping. Viggle bills itself as the first loyalty program for television. People check in and Viggle figures out the shows they are watching. Viggle also recognizes when users share their check ins and tell friends what they are watching via Twitter and Facebook.
