Marketing news:

Facebook is borrowing from Pinterest with new ‘Sets’

Facebook is in the initial phases of testing for a new feature called Sets. The new feature takes a cue from Pinterest, enabling users to compile their favorite status updates, photos, videos, and articles into a collection that can be shared with their friends. Users in the initial test group can create a Set and select privacy settings to choose which friends can see their collections.
