GetGlue

I heard about GetGlue on one of the TWiT.tv podcasts, net@night, which is a little like foursquare but you "check in" to movies, music, books, TV shows and whatever else you might like or dislike or perhaps can think of. Because it is a Web 2.0 thing, you can also check in with smartphones, iPads as well as through the website.

When you "like" and check-in to stuff, there will also be suggestions for what you might like also.
 
Unlike foursquare where you get virtual badges, GetGlue promises its users actual stickers that one can send out for once you've accumulated at least SEVEN stickers, which is not hard but the first few stickers you get might not be what you want rightaway. It is a race for users to accumulate stickers since they're free.

 
You get stickers when you check in to certain things on the sites/mobile apps, like when you check into certain TV shows on networks that have partnerships with GetGlue like HBO, AMC or FOX. You find out what to check into for stickers by following their blog or their Twitter feed.

Personally, I've collected a few stickers that I wouldn't mind having, but it's gonna take me awhile before I send out for mine. I sent out for the stickers I collected with the first account (damn Facebook Connect) I got, but I still haven't received them because while it takes them about 8 weeks domestically, it'll take them longer for overseas users.

Yes, I will admit that the site is a bit of a time suck - the only downside to this site is that I find it a little slow - it takes awhile for pages to load, which might be intentional as it'll slow people down in getting as many stickers as they can.

Since there aren't many sources of information about how to earn certain stickers (I won't go on about how to get the usual ones, once you have them it's self explanatory), I might do a post while I can still remember how.
