Introducing Glue for Blogs

Today we are excited to announce that the Glue network is coming to blogs. SmartLinks enable Glue on book, movie, and music links, and Glue Widgets bring Glue to your sidebar.

SmartLinks: Glue your Links.

SmartLinks are automatically inserted in your blog posts when you link to books on popular book sites, such as Amazon or B&N. Here’s an example: book link

See the icon that appears to the right of the link? Placing your mouse over the icon will show you a tooltip with people who have interacted with the book.

From the tooltip you can access additional Glue information:

• Conversations: See the people and conversations around the book.
• Summary: See a full summary of the book and a large image.
• Actions: Access information about the book from across the web.

SmartLinks are available for all popular blog platforms at http://www.adaptiveblue.com/smartlinks.

Widget: Glue your Sidebar.

The new widgets bring the Glue network directly to your blog. Each widget includes a number of SmartLinks that individuals can interact with.

Currently, people who already have AdaptiveBlue Widgets installed will enjoy the Glue network appearing when visitors interact with their widget. If you’re an author or book blogger and would like a Glue book widget please contact us directly. We’re working on making it possible to create widgets directly from the browser add-on. If you have any suggestions on this please let us know!

To celebrate Glue for Blogs we’re giving away a free KINDLE 2! See this blog post for complete information.
