<p>Facebook is testing a new feature dubbed "collections" that lets users create wish lists of products by clicking on "want" or "collect" buttons.</p><p>Some test pages sport a "collect" button, which lets users save an item to a collection called "products" and allows a user's friends to see the activity in their news feedssimilar to the way users can see which pages their friends "like." Other test pages display a want or like button to do the same thing, visible within the news feeds of friends of friends. All three buttons add the chosen items to the user's Timeline as part of a new "products" section.</p><p>At this point, the features reflect how Pinterest works; the collectable items are mostly photographs found on the Facebook pages of a chosen handful of test brands.</p><p>Currently, only the Facebook pages of Pottery Barn, Wayfair, Victoria's Secret, Michael Kors, Neiman Marcus, Smith Optics, and Fab.com support collections. If you want to see the new buttons in action, you'll have to like one of those pages, then find a photo there of a product it sells, such as one of these Smith Optics images.When you collect an item, Facebook asks why you did so.</p><p><a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/2011464/a-want-on-facebook-could-be-just-what-your-business-ordered.html">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/technolog/facebook-rolls-out-pinterest-tool-buying-stuff-1C6367138">Facebook rolls out Pinterest-like tool for buying stuff</a> (NBCNews.com (blog))</p><p><a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2012/10/09/facebook-retail-push/1623285/">Facebook&#039;s new retail push lets users hit &#039;buy&#039;</a> (USA TODAY)</p><p><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/facebook-experiments-collect-buttons-commerce-experiment-includes-lists/story?id=17433111">Facebook Experiments With &#039;Want&#039; and &#039;Collect&#039; Buttons</a> (ABC News)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=d0-M6M59IVWgjcMjYLqOyRjYMojkM&ned=us">229 additional articles.</a></p>
