We recently wrote about location-based mobile social network Loopt’s<\/a> push<\/a> to launch deals for check-ins, and today, the startup is putting use check-ins to philanthropic use. For every check-in at Chipotle, Panera Bread, or Whole Foods around the country, Loopt will donate $1 towards the Haiti earthquake relief. Half of the proceeds from the check-ins will be given to the American Red Cross<\/a> and the other half will be donated to Doctors Without Borders.<\/a><\/p>\n

Loopt founder and CEO Sam Altman said the spots were chosen primarily because they are seeing many check-ins at these vendors. It’s truly a generous and worthy initiative and it also provides a noble inventive for users to enable Loopt’s check-in technology, which the startup recently launched.<\/a><\/p>\n

Text messaging<\/a> has also played a significant part in fundraising for Haiti earthquake relief; with mobile donations reaching $35 million.<\/a> <\/p>\n
