Suddenly, the quick, the beautiful and the fully dressed invade: chirps from phones and pop-ups on screens are announcing their social media check-ins, mapping out the lands of awesome times. None of those places, needless to say, are your living room. [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p>Now Mr. Fountain, Mr. Isaf and two other friends have come up with an app to ease this malady. Called CouchCachet, the app finds all the coolest places in your neighborhood, then automatically uses Foursquare to check you into them \u2014 with none of the irritation of actually leaving the couch. [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p>More than simply creating a geo-mirage, CouchCachet will also tweet lyrics by indie bands that people haven\u2019t heard of. \u201cIt will wax poetic about local microbrews that you just discovered at some cool speakeasy,\u201d said Mr. Fountain, 36, of Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. \u201cIt will also upload low-fi pictures of 20-somethings in skinny jeans to your Instagram.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In short, he said: \u201cIt will live the lifestyle that you need to project to others. You can finally be who you want people to think you are. They don\u2019t know you\u2019re sitting at home, getting caught up on \u2018Downton Abbey.\u2019 \u201d [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p>Suppose, someone asked, a friend using CouchCachet was checked into the same places that CouchCachet has also checked you into? \u201cThis is fine!\u201d Mr. Fountain said. \u201cThis is robots talking to robots.
