It seems like Marvel is dropping their GetGlue promotion a bit, but that hasn’t stopped me from getting more stickers. Check out my third set which still has a few comic book related items….. For those that read Marvel, might as well.
I received my second round of Marvel stickers from GetGlue yesterday!
GetGlue is an service that allows you to check in to show what form of entertainment you’re partaking in. If you’re playing a video game, watching a movie or television show, some sports, stuff like that. For a lot of check ins you receive “stickers” to show what you’ve done.
GetGlue is a leading social network for entertainment. Users check-in and share what they are watching, listening to and reading with friends; get fresh recommendations, exclusive stickers, discounts and other rewards from GetGlue partners.
Marvel has been taking advantage of the service, allowing fans to check in and show the comics they’re reading. What’s even cooler is once you reach certain levels, you can get printed versions of your stickers, creating a very neat collectible for the geek set. Check out my first batch of stickers below which arrived in the mail this week.
Marvel also dominates the trends in the book category. As of this article, the company has 8 out of 10 spots, including the top 3.

Sunday’s premiere of the second season of The Walking Dead just crushed it in both ratings and social online interaction. The 90 minute episode broke a basic cable record with more than 4.8 million viewers in the 18-49 demographic and 7.3 million total viewers.
The television show also rocked in social online interaction. These stats and graphs are provided by Mashable:
The GetGlue check ins increased seven fold to almost 43,000 people. The social engagement online didn’t end there. Bluefin reports via Mashable that there was 82,000 social media comments from 57,000 different people. The show skews slightly male with 53.5% of the social TV engagement was from men vs. 46.5% women.
The show response was positive online with 74.6% of comments positive, 12.1% negative and 13.3% neutral. There were two peaks for comments, at 9pm when the show began and 10:30 when the first airing ended. The Walking Dead outpaced Modern Family, The New Girl and Terra Nova and was only second to the NFL when it came to social activity.
