The entire network is built upon themed collections of text and images, giving writers more space beyond the 140-character confines of Twitter.

Here’s more about collections, from the founders:  “Collections are sometimes closed (like this one) but optionally open to contributions. For example, here’s an open collection of crazy stories. Here’s one of nostalgic photos. Collections give people context and structure to publish their own stories, photos, and ideas. By default, the highest-rated posts show up at the top, helping people get the most out of their time in this world of infinite information.”

Below, we’ve collected all the information writers need to know about this new site.
