New Widget Tooltips

by Fraser on October 23, 2009 · Comments

We’re pleased to announce that as of today new Glue tooltips are integrated into all of our widgets across the web.

More than 30,000 Glue widgets are live on more than 10,000 blog and major publishing partner sites, including Random House, NY Times, Hearst properties, O’Reilly Media, and hundreds of bestselling authors from all major book publishers.

The new tooltips expand the Glue network and increase user experience, conversion, and time-on-site for our partners.

The main tab of the tooltip is complimented by category specific secondary tabs. For example, book tooltips provide a way to browse inside of the book, links to purchase the book, and in-place Amazon reviews. Movie tooltips provide an in-place trailer, Rotten Tomatos summary and links to purchase or rent the movie.

The tooltips are integrated into book widgets, popular widgets and Glue for your blog.

We’re thrilled to bring the tooltips to our widgets and provide you with a better experience as you browse the web. If you’re interested in widgets for your site please contact us at support AT getglue DOT com.

Fantastic Tooltips on GetGlue.com

by Fraser on September 15, 2009 · Comments

“So excited about what we rolled out today. Been dreaming about it for years!” - Alex

New tooltips are now live on GetGlue.com. It’s another great addition to the site (earlier: one and two) that makes the experience on GetGlue even richer.

The tooltip makes it easy to explore and discover new items by presenting you with info from Glue and around the web. There’s the item’s image and summary as well as great object-specific tabs, such as:

* Books: read Amazon reviews, browse inside the book
* Movies: watch the trailer, see the Rotten Tomatoes Score
* Music: watch music videos

How-To Launch the new Tooltips:

When you mouse over any object image on Glue - like a book jacket or movie poster - you’ll see a new tooltip button in the lower right-hand corner.

Clicking the button launches the tooltip.

Here’s a quick introductory video that shows you how hot the tips are:

The best way to experience the goodness of the new tooltips is to try them yourself. Head to my movie collection to see! As always, let us know what you think.
