Today on WSAV Tech Tuesday, we talk about Get Glue, a social media network that lets you check-in to your favorite TV shows, movies, books, and music. Think of it like foursquare for entertainment.

Checking in on Get Glue allows you to:

Connect and converse with other fans of the same movies, TV shows, etc.

Get recommendations based on the things you like.

Earn limited edition stickers that you can have mailed directly to your door FOR FREE.

Get discounts on merchandise from some of your favorite shows.

And, as usual, you can connect Get Glue to your Twitter and Facebook accounts if you want to share your Get Glue activity across your other social networks.

Get Glue has free mobile apps for iPhone, Android, and Blackberry.
