    Okay. no offense, but I think it is an overkill to have 3 out of 3 reviews this morning talking about Social, and 2 out 3 talking about Twitter. How about some business apps or sites? Something that matters and relates to current conditions.

    Wipe the dollar signs from your eyes, Jason. Not all of us are in business; what matters to you is irrelevant to me. Moreover, if you really are in business you would do well to learn about the marketing and branding potential of Twitter and other social media.

    This is an incredible add-on. I've been using it for about 6 months now and absolutely love it. It's the most useful social network I've ever joined.

    Great add-on. Sharing with Friends of mine.

    So will I now need to rate every website I go to? Not sure I would have time for that.

    very cool add on, this needs to be able to work with all sites though!

    I don't know about you, but all this personal data being made public
    gives me a creepy feeling.

    Just wait until the "stalkers" learn how to use these tools.

    OK. maybe I'm over-reacting a little bit, but privacy seems to have
    gone out the window in this Web2.0 surge.

    Robert, Glue is only active on a subset of the web about books, music, movies. It is not active on other pages.

    I do a lot of reviews on my site and I am considering adding "glue" to my site. I still feel that the userbase is too small. Perhaps I should do a poll. It's certainly an interesting concept and I would love it if it was widely implemented and everyone was using it.
  • Alex Iskold · 8 months ago
    What is your site? You can enable Glue by simply implementing http://abmeta.org. Let me know if you'd like help with this.

    Looks like a great app, still, yet again another tool bar to install! Like downloading applications, no matter how great they can be, I've given up adding toolbars. Bookmarklets are all I can take.
  • Alex Iskold · 8 months ago
    Glue does not take space in your browser toolbar. It only shows up on pages that it recognizes as an overlay and then goes away.
  • lelapin · 8 months ago
    Although the info is interesting I must say I don't mind the space a toolbar takes as much as I mind the load it adds having it working constantly in the background. In that regard I prefer the way wwwitter and its bookmarklet works: only when called does it check whether the page I'm on has already or ever been twittered, for me to decide to RT it or not.
