A GLAD is a paid content created to be shown along with all GLBrain content for the category and as per the creator's selection. If all users are selected, the GLAD will show to all registered users viewing all content pages of the selected category. If a selection is made, it will only show to the selected registered users. Once clicking on a GLAD it will open and show its full content. From there it will lead to the creators profile and offer a function to orfer SGloms. GLADs will be always shown in the creators professional profile. GLADs can be created and purchased by any registered user following the steps described below.
The first step is to decide the layout of the Thumbnail (how the Glad is presented on the page of the GLBrain Content) and the GLAD itself (how the Glad itself looks like when opened). In any case there is the choice to use the Standard (Picture and Text) or the Poster (only Picture) Layout. Depending on the choices made in Step 2 the matching Glad Content Creation Tool opens. A Standard GLAD Thumbnail is a GLAD designed on GLBrain by using Text, Link, embedding Video or picture functions. A Poster Glad Thumbnail is a GLAD without using further creation tools of GLBrain like Text, embedding and linking Functions. It consists of an already existing Picture (Poster) just uploaded.
Here all the text content for the Thumbnail and GLAD can be entered first including links, videos and fotos in case Standard Layout has been selected.
In this part of the GLAD Creation Tool all images can be uploaded. Please check to match the exact dimensions described in the Tooltip to the right. Also a color theme can be selected. This color will show in the space not covered by pictures or text as well as in the buttons within the GLAD.
A selection can be created very easily by using the "Selection" tool, selecting Country, Region, City, Sex and Age Range. The selection has to have a name to be found again under saved selections like above. In the further process of the GLAD selection it has to be uploaded from there.
The last step is to enter the text of the GLAD. Here it shows the applied selection, the related GLBrain content and the pricing information for this selection. From here one can select the time frame the GLAD shall be active for, add it to the Shopping Cart and or pay at checkout.

A GLOM (GLObal Message) is a way to directly communicate with interested users who added the GLBrain Content to their MyBrain via a statistic selection. The users will receive this information within the content they added to their MyBrain. The creator of the GLOM does not see their identity .Users show just as part of a statistic selection. The Glom will show to all selected users in their MyBrain along with the related GLBrain Content. The receiver of the GLOM will be informed by a green envelope over the MyBrain that he has a new message and by opening the MyBrain he will then be informed that content that is part of his MyBrain got an update. The Content with the latest updates will be listed first and show that there is a new GLOM. Once this Glom is opened and read, the tool will be re-listed in its original place. All GLOMS will be stored under the related GLBrain content and listed by date. The user can delete the GLOM and even decide to never get GLOMs again from this creator. This will block him from the statistic selection for this creator he does not want to interact with any longer.
The first step in creating a GLOM is to make a selection from the "Statistic" tool. This can be done by using an already existing selection or by creating a new selection. Every created selection will be stored under existing selections and can be deleted or edited.
A selection can be created very easily by using the "Selection" tool, selecting Country, Region, City, Sex and Age Range. The selection has to have a name to be found again under saved selections like above. In the further process of the GLOM selection it has to be uploaded from there.
The last step is to enter the text of the Glom. Here it shows the current selection, the related GLBrain content and the pricing information for this selection. From here one can add it to the Shopping Cart and/ or pay and checkout.
GLOMs can be administrated under "Purchased" in the MyBrain of the creator. The receiver of the GLOM will be informed by a green envelope over the MyBrain that he has a new communication and opening the MyBrain he will be informed that content added to his MyBrain got a new information. The content with the latest new information will be listed first and show that there is a new GLOM. Once this Glom is opened and red the content will be listed again at its original place. All GLOMS will be stored under the related GLBrain content and listed by date. The user can delete the GLOM and even decide to never get GLOMs again from this creator. This will block him from the statistic selection for the creator he does not want to interact with any longer.
A Special GLOM is the most direct way to inform interested users. Special GLOMs have to be ordered by the user on a GLAD by clicking the Subscribe to Special GLOMs Button. Any Creator of a GLAD can directly from the GLAD or from the Purchasing Menu under the MyBrain create and send Special GLOMs. Under Special GLOMs you can see how many users at this time subscribed to Special GLOMs and create and send from here. For the User the Special GLOMs will show direct under Messages like a message from a friend.
Here the text of the Special GLOM Title and Body can be entered. From here the purchasing process can be continued. As Special GLOMs are always sent to all present subscribers, it is advisable to use an updated text so users who already received a special GLOm from this creator before are receiving something new and interesting.
All Special GLOMs created and sent can be administrated in the MyBrain under "Purchased". To the subscriber Special GLOMs show in there Message Inbox, the most prominent point of entry.
SPECIAL GLOMs received will show in the incoming mail the same way as messages from friends.
Under Subscriptions all users from whom SPECIAL GLOMS are actually subscribed are shown and can be administrated
