What is Google Keen? And how can it benefit bloggers?

Years ago now I started a wee startup call Scrattch. It was meant to bring

Keen allows you to curate and collect the things that are the most meaningful to you. You can then share these tidbits or “Gems” with others, creating communities around the things you love. I LIKE IT. A LOT.

Keen uses machine learning to identify further gems for you and as your collection grows, Keen learns more and more about your preferences, and is able to find more nuggets for you as time goes by.

It’s a bit like Pinterest, but has a few more layers to it in terms of its capability to handle different media types, its AI foundation and its dedication to community creation, so IMHO could become something pretty special. In fact, it’s been dubbed the Google Pinterest …

But, one of the main differences to pay attention to is it’s ability to serve you up the good stuff.

Googles press release about Keen describes it like this “ On keen… you say what you want to spend time on, and then curate content from the web and people you trust to make that happen.” Beautiful!

I would describe it as Pinterest for those who want more from their content.

You can add links, text, tags, images and text as your Gems to your Keens. Unlike Pinterest, which is only imagery and video.
