Feedback: "Collections"
When I first started using Comet earlier this week, everything I saw made immediate sense to me (blog, tagging, photos, etc.) except "Collections." I wasn't sure what it meant, though I guessed maybe it was a way to connect different assets. When I clicked on it, though, the resulting dialog box gave no hints as to what I should (or could) do.
Since then, I have figured out how to add things to it, but it's a cumbersome process, and I still don't have a clear idea of what I would use it for. (Maybe to make photo albums?*)
if I were doing feature triage, this is probably the first thing I would jettison from the current Comet implementation, because it's not clear to me what it's supposed to be used for, and there seems like a lot of other features and enhancements that really need to be in Comet that aren't right now.

*if this is the case, I would consider changing the name of the feature. "Collections" feels a bit techie to me, it's like what the engineer would call the generalizable object that would group assets.

good feedback. thumbs up. +1.
thx - this is actually one of my favorite activities in the world-banging on a user interface and pontificating about ui design and usability issues. During dotcom (1.0) I actually got paid for it.
