Google continues to push out new and innovative options for users. The latest is Stories by Google+ that allows users to build unique narratives out of images that can then be put together in story form for dissemination to friends and followers. The move sees Google continue to push out new ideas on their multiple platforms to entice more to join.
But Stories is not just a filler process for users, it allows users to upload a series of images and then Google will put forward the best images and create a "story" that takes into account location data and other information to deliver a photo story even the most rudimentary user is able to use with success.
The new Stories platform is currently available on Android and online now, while iOS implementation will come at a later date.
This is not your typical slideshow, says Google, as users will have access to animation and other transitions to easily move through your images without the abruptness often found in slideshows by other photo apps and programs.
The concept is easy to use, says Google, and they will do all the grunt work to have an amazing story at your fingertips.
"This is the typically messy scene after a vacation," says Google in an official post announcing Stories. "And although we can't do your laundry (thanks but no thanks), or run your errands (well, maybe a few), we'd still like to help. Enter Google+ Stories, which can automatically weave your photos, videos and the places you visited into a beautiful travelogue."
Google has also published a photo story on the new platform to give users an idea of how the process works and what the final result will be. It's unique and simple managing ability undoubtedly will have many users ready and excited to show off their photos from travel and other experiences.
Stories is also being promoted as a great way to have images from that recent party or event easy to manage and create stories for all those who visited to enjoy. All with the click of a button.
Overall, the response to Stories has been positive, with many observers expecting it to quickly become the top photo app.
