After Facebook launched a hobby-focused app earlier this year, Google is following suit and launching its own response to Pinterest, which curates content for users based on their interests and hobbies.

Just like Facebook launched its own take on Pinterest earlier this year to compete with the hobby-oriented social media site, Google announced late last week the launch of Keen, a platform on which a user can make "keens", like Pinterest boards, "which can be about any topic, whether it's baking delicious bread at home, getting into birding or researching typography".
