I would have liked the idea of spaces only if it were open platform like reddit & spotify intermixed functionalities like - where anyone can share public spaces with topics/tags so one can find the space with inbuilt search functionality. - collaborative spaces with moderation - Some auto curation like feeding rss feeds to collections so any changes would transfer there.

I think if it has that kind of features it would atleast be the best rss reader if not collaborative list.

What do you guys think?

It was announced in May of 2016, so it'll be shut down in less than a year. That was the first thing I wanted to know after seeing this, so I figured I'd contribute that fact here.

Sometimes I think Google launches products and expects them to succeed by sheer luck. No marketing at all. Maybe they've been primed by the search engine, which sold itself by being vastly superior to anything available at the time.
