Glogster is a revolutionary way of expressing your mood, feelings and ideas, and it goes miles beyond text or video! Creating a Glog lets you express all those things you haven’t been able to describe by words. It opens the door to a whole new world of communication – just choose a background, throw in some shapes and characters from our galleries, add text, your own videos or photos and perhaps a pinch of music and there it is. In just a few minutes, you can make a digital poster, a colorful medley of ideas, reflecting your own special style. G points are a reward for your activity on Glogster. Simply put – the more active you are, the more G you have. This includes creating good Glogs, inviting friends and telling the world about Glogster. Promoting your Glog online and embedding it is worth most Gs.People with a high G count are the most respected Gloggers. If you have lots of Gs, it means that you’re an elite Glogger. Gs are your virtual credits, for which you will be able to buy stuff on Glogster. The Glogster Team chooses movers and Shakers. It is a group of Glogs that we think are the greatest on Glogster. If your Glog is a Mover and Shaker, it means that we really like it, that it’s slick, creative, funny, innovative or really interesting in any way. If you have a Mover and Shaker, you are probably one of the best Gloggers! There is another category – Half Shakers, Glogs which we consider very good, but which still require some refining. A Half Shaker can become a Mover and Shaker eventually.
