• What's a Collection / Wake / Story?

  A collection is a groups of items, such as links, notes and images that you’ve put together or nicely organised to tell a story.

  We call these ‘wakes’. As it’s a new term, we’ve referred to them on the site as collections or stories as it’s more familiar to new users. We may change it in the future!

  When you sign up for a Wakelet account you can create as many wakes as you like.
