Glue appears automatically on popular book pages to show friends and other people who have interacted with the same book. Glue recognizes that a book on Amazon is the same book that is on B&N, Powells, Good Reads, LibraryThing, Wikipedia and dozens of other popular book sites across the web.
Glue is unique in this understanding, and connects people around a specific book, regardless of the website visited.

If you are an author, Glue enables you to engage with your readers contextually, anywhere around the web. This is a powerful new way to connect with your audience. Glue brings authors:
Web-wide book activity: When you visit a page about your book, you see what people are saying, regardless of where they are saying it. You can also see how many people liked the book and the number of people who have visited it.
Direct audience engagement: You can leave a short comment about your book, saying that you are the author. Visitors will now be able to read a message from you when visiting your book. Individuals will also be able to access links to your website and blog, connecting them to you.
Indirect audience interaction: You can save and share the books that you like with a single-click. Fans can interact and explore your book list, creating a stronger relationship between you and your fans.
