Google+ “Collections” has finally rolled out its iOS app. Collections is a Pinterest-like feature which allows you to collect your favourite pictures, videos and posts around a specific topic of your choice. Your collections just like Pinterest can either be made public or you just keep them private. Based on feedback from users, you can now search for Collections, this is now live in the Android app. Collection tags is also an update you may be seeing if you already use this feature.
Social media companies usually see what’s new on other platforms and see if they will work on theirs. An example would be the “trending and hast tag” features on Twitter which Facebook has adopted or the popular News Feed style Facebook brought into the social media space. Pinterest doesn’t seem to be perturbed by this as it is launching a service it calls “Buyable Pins“. If you know how Pinterest works, you pin items you like on your dashboard only this time having teamed up with some major retailers, you can now buy some of the items you pin.
