Collection which is a Pinterest like Feature on Google+
The addition of a new feature called Collections by Google+ to its social media network has similar features like social network Pinterest, which offers its own online bulletin board.
According to CNET, Google+ offers new features to share and organise pictures, articles and other content which are related to a particular topic, like food, movies etc. As Google is facing a tough competition from Facebook and even from younger competitors like Snapchat, it is being observed that the company is trying to revive its plagued social network.
Google+ said in a post on its Google+ page, “Today we are announcing Google+ Collections, a new way to group your posts by topic.” It also said,” Every collection is a focussed set of posts on a particular topic, providing an easy way for you to organise all the things you are into. Each collection can be shared publicly, privately or with a custom set of people. Once you create your first collection, your profile will display a new tab where other people can find and follow your collection.”
Presently, the Collection’s features are available on the web and on devices running Android and can be found on the left side of the Google+ page in the dropdown tab.
According to Google, this new feature can also be available on Apple’s iPhones and iPads later.
