Posted by Hal Thomas on June 12, 2012

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.
