Get Glue - It Will Stick To You
My 3rd article for The 2.0 Life - An intro to AdaptiveBlue’s Glue.
The newest version of Glue was released today. I had the opportunity to beta test it, and I am 100% sold. SOCIAL MEETS USEFUL. This is where the internet is going.
Here’s some of the today’s coverage:

I hate to brag, but I had to put this up. AdaptiveBlue is a company I’ve been getting to know over the past few months. They are the creators of Glue, which I made a video demo about a couple weeks ago.
I went out to coffee with Fraser (VP of Business Development) last weekend and he gave me a t-shirt. He asked that I send the Glue crew a picture of me wearing it and challenged me to be creative. I *hired* Ryan Craven as the photographer/creative consultant and here’s what we came up with:
Why I Like Glue & You Can Too
My first attempt with a video demo. The victim? AdaptiveBlue’s Glue.
I’ve been on Glue for about 4 months now and have loved using it, but I’ve always wished more of my friends would give it a try. Last night, after hearing me talk about Glue for about the 50th time, a few friends started asking questions. They wanted to know how I benefited from using Glue. I hope this video helps someone who’s wondering that same thing - what Glue can do for them.
Last week, Tac Anderson did a video demo on how to post to Twitter using Diigo on his blog, New Comm Biz. I enjoyed watching his tutorial and learning about a service I’d never used before, and I was enlightened to the fact that onscreen demos are a great way to teach and share information. Teaching is one of my favorite things to do, so I thought I’d give it a try.
This is far from perfect, but it’s the first shot. I’m hoping that I’ll get better as I do more of these. The goal: make it clear and valuable enough that whoever watches can quickly take what they’ve learned, apply it, and pay it forward.
