Google+ takes on Pinterest with Collections

Google’s social network has been criticized for looking to similar to Facebook. This time, Google+ seems to be borrowing from another more visual social network, Pinterest. Google just launched a new Collections feature that lets its users create content collections based on interests. Collections show a group of posts on a specific topic, it can be shared publicly or to select people, or just for yourself. Once you use this feature, a new Collections tab will show up on your profile.

The new feature is available on the web version and Android. iOS support is coming soon.

Samsung to release an ‘Iron Man’ version of the Galaxy S6 Edge

Samsung has a marketing partnership with Marvel. So, it makes sense that they’ll try to bring that partnership to their devices. Samsung announced that they will be releasing a special Iron Man edition of their Galaxy S6 Edge. And of course, it will be available in red. This version of the S6 Edge is said to come out at the end of May at the earliest or sometime in June. They didn’t specify what other special features will be coming with this Iron Man edition so we’ll have to wait for the unveiling.

So, who else from the Marvel Universe would you like to see get their own special edition smartphone?

Tesla opens site to sell used electric cars

Tesla likes to sell its electric cars directly to the public and they’re extending that to their used vehicles as well. The company just opened an online store for pre-owned Tesla cars at a discount. It’s available through a handful of cities in the US and Canada at the moment. But it comes with 4-year, 50,000-mile warranty to assuage fears that you might be getting a lemon. It’s still going to cost you a bit but for those who want to own a Tesla but don’t have enough to pay full price, this might be a good deal.

Google experiments with tweets in mobile search results

Google has partnered with Twitter a few months back to give the search giant more access to tweets. We’re starting to see the fruits of this deal with a new feature on Google Search for mobile. Google is testing out putting tweets into search results on mobile. For example, if you were searching for #Maythe4thbewithyou, tweets of that topic will start showing up grouped in a carousel so you can peruse through the latest tweets. It is currently a small test though and only some users are able to see this at the moment. But once, Google integrates this more, we might be seeing a more polished version of this feature in the near future.
