Google+ Stories are Amazing

Google+ does wonders again with Google+ Stories! While I really enjoy that Apple's iPhoto categorizes photos automatically into events, Google took this one step further. Google selects certain photos and automatically creates albums based on events in your life.

As you can see, Google titles each "story" automatically using location and time the photo or videos were taken. If your location is off, Google will will try to use image recognition to find the location (e.g. landmarks). While some of larger stories are slightly slow and laggy, you can see its usefulness immediately. Unlike tradition albums the photos/videos are shown in chronological order but in a flowing fashion; it's different more of an experience. Google does a good job picking content for the album but you can edit them easily. And if you travel from different locations, it even displays that in the story. This will make sharing albums much simpler. Google did it right. No one wants to filter through their own photos to make an album and no one wants go through a friend's album with over hundreds of photos (even duplicates). Google+ Photos is one of, if not the best aspect of Google+.
