"Get Glue" Almost Gets It

At last, there's incentive. 

I've written articles calling foursqure a "Social Media Playground for Internet Addicts."  I've accumultaed 215 checkins at a variety of different venues.  I've recieved foursquare promotions from resturants like Robust Wine Bar.  Hell, I've even written about what the brand needs to do to stay relevant in the always changing industry.  What do I have to show for it?  Nothing.  In fact, I'd now refer to Foursquare as one of two things: a.) a budding community for the laggard tech crowd or b.) the occasional app for social discoveries.  I think in a few years, it will simply be a graveyard of wasted potential (aka MySpace).  I really hope that I'm wrong.

So there's a not so new app (new to me) called "Get Glue" that allows you to check in to TV shows and movies (among other things). It's fun and movie studios, television studios, and advertisers are getting in on the game by allowing you to recieve stickers with every twenty checkins. The idea is a little cheesy, and I don't think it's destined for suceess, but I'd be lying if I said  I haven't been checking in relentlessy in an effort to get my "Your Highness" sticker set by Friday.  (P.S.- the stickers are real, physical stickers, not to be confused with fake foursquare badges).

Below is a video.  If you have an iPad, I suggest you check this out.  For those that have...thoughts?
