Profile and Object Pages on GetGlue

“One Small Step for Glue, One Giant Leap for Usability”

We’ve heard consistently from the community that one way to improve the Glue experience is to break free from the small overlay and provide a richer experience for browsing a user’s collection of books, movies, and music.

Today, with the launch of Profile and Object pages on GetGlue.com, we’re taking the first of many planned steps to address this.

Profile Pages:

Profile pages allow you to review and share your collection of movies, books, and music. The pages highlight your activity across popular websites and show the books, movies, and music that you have visited, liked and commented on.

When you visit another Glue-r’s profile, say Alex’s, you can discover new things through his collection and quickly see shared interests.

Object Pages:

Every object now has its own page. So whether you’re looking to see what friends think of Tarantino’s new movie, the singer with the beautiful voice, or Anderson’s new book, you can find out easily on Glue.

Each object page shows Glue-rs who have visited the object around the web. It front-loads the information to show you friends first. You can also access the best links for that object and discover similar items.

As stated at the top of the post this is one step of many to come. We look forward to continued iteration of these pages based on your feedback.

Check out my profile and access yours by adding your Glue username to the end of www.getglue.com/
