Where in the past Google Plus posts quickly drifted off to irrelevance in a single home stream, now evergreen content can be found in Collections grouped under topics that your readers can explore in depth. Collections are a powerful new tool for bloggers, who are able to extend their reach and organize their content.

1. GOOGLE + BREAKING NEWS

2. The release came with a Google article published on May 4, 2015, titled
"Introducing 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."

3. They provide the means to categorize posts into your chosen topic , giving
each post a longer, EVERGREEN life.
Evergreen content means that your posts are relevant, timeless, and able to be found.

5. Blogging is an art, craft, and act of powerful communication.
Anyone can blog, so everyone’s voice can be heard.

6. Humanity has reached a peak of genetic and cultural
evolution, allowing us to feel empathy for each other,
which empowers human cultural connections through
technology, blogging, and social media.
