Twitter begins testing two new features for discovering more about products and places

<p>The first experience we're testing is a new way to surface and organize relevant Tweets about products and places on dedicated pages. These pages will feature images and video about the product alongside information such as a description, price, and an option to buy, book, or visit the website for more information.</p>

<p>Collections is a bit different:</p>

<p>In addition to pages, we're also beginning to test new ways for people and brands to create and share Twitter collections of products and places. You'll be able to browse rich collections from influencers you care about and get more information about the products or places you find interesting.</p>

<p>To access these new features, you will need to have the latest version of Twitter on your device, so be sure to check for updates. In the coming months, Twitter plans to test more experiences to bring even more personalized and relevant content to each user.</p> <p>Source: Twitter (https://blog.twitter.com/2015/testing-new-ways-to-make-it-easier-to-discover-products-and-places)</p> </div></div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='(http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/47666f61/sc/28/mf.gif)' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
