 “So excited about what we rolled out today. Been dreaming about it for years!” - Alex

New tooltips are now live on GetGlue.com. It’s another great addition to the site (earlier: one and two) that makes the experience on GetGlue even richer.

The tooltip makes it easy to explore and discover new items by presenting you with info from Glue and around the web. There’s the item’s image and summary as well as great object-specific tabs, such as:

* Books: read Amazon reviews, browse inside the book
* Movies: watch the trailer, see the Rotten Tomatoes Score
* Music: watch music videos

How-To Launch the new Tooltips:

When you mouse over any object image on Glue - like a book jacket or movie poster - you’ll see a new tooltip button in the lower right-hand corner.

Clicking the button launches the tooltip.

Get to know Lijit: Ben Matson

Get to know Lijit: Ben Matson


 Little Ben Matson has been with our company for long enough now that we can easily make jokes at his expense. That’s always the true test, isn’t it? And fortunately for us, he can laugh at himself AND he has a blog designed to document his D&D adventures. Really…what more could we want from a co-worker?



Let’s not forget that Ben is an extraordinary team player who is willing to help out anyone at any time. Since he’s been at Lijit, he’s been put in many situations of extreme pressure and has passed all the stress tests with flying colors. Of course, he has yet to experience the famed Lijit Holiday Party. We’ll see how he does with that one. In the meantime, enjoy getting to know Ben. I can honestly say that the picture he provided me of his summer internship has to be one of the best of all time.
What is your Lijit contribution?

I am one of two Publisher Support Engineers at Lijit, and we do a variety of things around here. Whenever a blogger has a technical question, or runs into a problem with something, we work to provide the answers and solutions they’re looking for. Whenever we can’t handle an issue ourselves, we track down the people that can and make sure things get resolved properly. But my job is not just troubleshooting, I also get to trick-out the special accounts we create with a bunch of custom features for the different business development deals that go on around here. One of the things I really enjoy about my particular role at Lijit is seeing all the different ways our products get used, and all the neat things our company can do.
