GetGlue released an update for their iPhone app today.  I give you my first impressions after using it for a little bit.  A more comprehensive review will be in next week’s episode.

Were you able to check-in and earn the Elvis Presley Live Birthday Broadcast sticker Sunday morning? When I attempted to use the widget it wasn’t working. There are very few stickers I try to make a point to earn and the Elvis stickers are on my “must-earn” list. Other stickers (likeChristmas at Graceland) from Elvis.com have only been available for a very short time. They’re quite exclusive.

GetGlue is known to release stickers for all kinds of holidays. Sometimes there are stickers for well-known holidays and other times more obscure holidays ( Mole Day is one example). I’m on the lookout for a Friday the 13th sticker this year.

While more CES stickers are starting to show up, what about stickers for the Detroit Auto Show? Were there no automobile manufacturers that wanted to sponsor a sticker?

Where are the Strikeforce and UFC stickers?  Zuffa and Showtime certainly have the advertising dollars and with FOX and Fuel on board there should be stickers for the major events (title fights).  If HBO could release stickers for non-title fights why aren’t we seeing Rupert Murdoch put his vast media empire to work on some UFC stickers?

Housekeeping: I fixed the problem with the sticker reminder calendar not displaying in the sidebar. Also, you may notice that the podcast is being released on Monday night. That’s the plan going forward. Seems pointless to release the podcast in the middle of the week or on the weekend when most stickers have already become unavailable.

Enough with the ranting, now on to the stickers you can earn this week: Continue Reading…

It’s Thanksgiving in the U.S. so today’s show will be short but will feature holiday-related stickers you can earn this weekend.

I’m extending the previous week’s contest due to a little confusion (my fault, not yours). Listen for more details.

The winner of last week’s contest is announced, plus, lots of great stickers this week from Marvel (Spider-man, The Avengers, The New Avengers, The Hulk, Magneto, Generation Hope, Point One). Also some movies are coming soon (The Hunger Games) and opening this weekend (Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 and Happy Feet Two).  I’m also giving away more stickers this week.
