securitybreach Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Google+ is trying something a bit different today with the announcement of Collections, a new feature that allows users to create boards of images, videos, and other content categorized around specific interests. The feature sounds a whole lot like Google's take on a Pinterest board: it allows users to make multiple collections, fill them with images, and follow public collections that they're interested in. Collections is currently listed as "coming soon," though Android Police says that it's heard the feature will begin to roll out today. In screenshots obtained by Android Police, Collections looks like little more than a normal Google+ page, albeit dedicated to a specific subject rather than a company or user. It also appears that users will be able to look through a list of the collections from people they follow — presumably, there will also be a way to browse public collections, too. ..................... Update May 4th, 2:15PM ET: Google has announced that Collections are being made available today on Android and the web. Support for iOS is "coming later." Collections still appears to be rolling out, however. Some boards are visible to the public, like this one about cats, while others seem to be directing people back to the feature's welcome page....... http://www.theverge....tions-announced I have not wrapped my head around the concept yet so I do not know what to think of it but it almost seems like the Community stuff. I will have to further research this to see how this is useful for me. I never used pinterest so I am not familar with the concept so it is different for me. Anyway, enjoy Edit: Someone already beat me to the Archlinux Collections The name reminds me of bill collectors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
