Glue is great for connecting around everyday things and it has been fun to see Glue become popular among people who love books.
Before Glue, people interested in books would have to work hard to connect with their friends. When you visited a book on Amazon it was nearly impossible for you to easily see what your friends thought of the book. If your friend was on Shelfari and you used another popular book social network, there was no way for the two of you to connect.
With Glue, book readers can connect with their friends automatically as they visit any popular book site. Glue shows if your friends liked the book you’re looking at and what they thought - even if they visited the book on different sites.
The new connected conversations feature allows readers to discuss books with their friends across the web. It does not matter which sites everyone visits.
Deborah, a friend of AdaptiveBlue’s and an avid reader, wrote a post about why she loves Glue. Here is one (of many) reasons why:
“I can upload a link to a review of a book on my blog. Someone can see my link and go to my blog and then can comment on what they thought about the book itself. It’s a great way to connect with people. And I think it’s totally awesome that someone far away can be looking on a website about a book, see my review, and get access to my blog.”
