Babylon Tales | Nathan Weaver, author

So, a buddy of mine and I are working on a web series. Early stages. And I was going nuts, because I couldn't think of a good title. So I wrote down the few, very bad, ideas that I had and moved on. An hour or so later, I went in search of a song. I wanted a song, something one of the characters could connect with in some way. And then, I found Solitude by Billie Holiday.

Glad to see Jyoti Q Dahiya has this collection up and running. Because she's been sharing other folks' stories for so long on Google+ there's already a good collection in place. I have a few stories in there as well. If you like reading stories from the crypt, I mean Google+, this is a good place to do so. #shortstories   #reading

Originally shared by Nathan Weaver Deleting a Collection deletes all posts, including ones older than the Collection itself, which were added by Share feature I've noticed when you delete a Collection, it deletes all posts. Even if it was a post you wrote well before Collections existed, and shared into a Collection. This seems like a really bad idea. I'm seeing the creation of a lot of collections, and if most people don't know this, they are going to become very disappointed to find out that they have taken their content and put a time-bomb on it should they ever decide to delete the Collection.  In that vein, can you remove a post from a Collection? (unshare?) If so, is this the work around at the moment to get a post out of a collection you want to delete?

More helpful info on Collection, desktop oriented this time.

A very good, comprehensive overview of Collections.

Originally shared by Dmitry Shapiro Introducing Google+ Collections, a new way to group your posts by topic 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. Every collection is a focused set of posts on a particular topic, providing an easy way for you to organize all the things you’re 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 collections. Posts in collections you follow will appear in your Home stream, with a link to easily jump right into the collection so you can get to similar content from that author. Collections give you a great way to find more of the stuff you love from the people you follow. Collections is availa
