Google+ has ventured into something different with the introduction of a new feature called Collections, which allows users to create boards of images, videos, and other content which is categorised according to specific topics. The feature is now available on Android and the Web. It is expected to arrive soon on iOS.
‘Our happiest Google+ users are those who connect with others around shared interests and passions. So we set out to give people a place to express the things they love. Today, we’re announcing Google+ Collections, a new way to group your posts by topic’, Google said in apost.

The basic functionality for Collections includes many posts of a similar topic which can be shared with friends or publicly, or even privately with a particular group of people. The new feature sounds quite familiar to Pinterest where users pin stories and follow public posts they like. Once a user creates their first collection, their profile will display a new tab where other people can find and follow their collections.
The report added that, ‘Collections give you a great way to find more of the stuff you love from the people you follow.’ Posts followed in Collections will appear on the Home stream with a link, so that a user can get similar content from the author.
