Well, this brings me back. That was definitely the height of my Twitter/TV presence and yes, I used GetGlue. To me, who lived abroad at the time and had to get shows through, uh, alternative means, it provided a physical connection to something that felt ephemeral and afar.

As a person who dislikes stickers in laptops/notebooks/etc… I still have them at my parents’, exactly as they were delivered.

The other thread picked up from here, and unsure how much of how media discourse has evolved/devolved is that I’m less interested in the social media of it and rather read recaps (like the ones provided by Episodic Medium!) and books (Sepinwall/MSZ/Nussbaum, and soon Barker’s) that are doing great long form work. Tools like Letterboxd and TrakTV are mostly for my own bookkeeping than to interact with my community.

The other side of this, is a lot of the people I met back in ‘09-‘12 I still discuss media with, just directly through text instead of a social media platform.
