Google Turns Image Search Into Pinterest With New “Collections” Feature

Watch out, Pinterest, you’ve got new competition. Google has now rolled out a new feature on its search engine that offers users an easy way to save to save images they find to collections they can reference at a later time.

To do this, users will have to be logged into their google accounts, and Collections will therefore add to the richness of the Google+ social network.  Collections is simpler than Pinterest, and only involves archiving images from Google search rather than fostering a larger online community like Pinterest.  However, this could be more appealing to certain audiences. 


Currently, Collections is only available on mobile devices in the US.
