Going for Glue

Would you believe that there is a website that was created for people who love books? Yes, even if it is largely believed that reading books has been phased-out because of the Internet, there are still groups of people who love to read books. These people canâ€™t resist smelling the fresh printerâ€™s ink as their hands flip through page after page of stories of love, betrayal, secrets and mystery. What the internet has given book lovers is a wider network for which to share good books and not-that-great books.

Getglue.com is Adaptive Blueâ€™s newest add-on free browser. It is downloadable and will automatically appear on your toolbar (everything seems to be effortless at Glue) once you are done installing it. Each time you check out a book, read an excerpt, or focus on reviews about it, Glue instantly posts it, telling others that you are looking into something interesting. [Read more…]

Things you’ve already liked – GetGlue shows you similar things that you’ve already liked while you visit a movie, an album or a book on GetGlue.com or anywhere on the web. It also shows you reviews and liked items by your friends, neighbors and the entire GetGlue community who have similar tastes as you.

New activity streams – GetGlue’s new activity streams compress daily activities of various users. This gives you the ability to explore more items from these activity streams.
