Glue Labs: Thumbs-down

by Laura on September 23, 2009 · Comments

When Glue was first launched there was a vision for a positive system to share the things you loved.

However, there has always been users - like Bill, Callum, and James - who have been itching to give some objects a big Thumbs Down.

We’ve also observed that a growing number of people use the comment feature to share that they didn’t like a book or movie.

With the launch of Glue Suggestions we’ve realized that we need to introduce a new rating option. To provide better suggestions people need to be able to say that they don’t like an item or that a suggestion isn’t for them.

As well as providing better suggestions, the thumbs-down will allow people to express their pessimistic side. I’m excited about this because I love giving things I hate a big Thumbs Down.

Here is a sneak peak of what the new Thumb-up / Thumb-down button will look like.

What do you think? Are you excited to start giving a big Thumbs Down to certain things?
