When I first came across GetGlue I thought, “Just what I need, another social network.”
The last thing I wanted to do was open another social networking app from my iPhone and check in, “like” things and earn rewards. However, GetGlue can easily win one over with its addictive way to rate and review entertainment and lifestyle content.

The Jackpot Slots dock is the most interesting that I have seen in a while, as it turns an iPhone/iPod Touch into a slot machine. The App it comes with is free, and allows online play in tournaments around the world. You can even earn a trip to Vegas after earning 50,000 game credits.
