I enjoy Collections as an idea, but despite the pretty interface, everything they've done so far has been buggy or half-assed. First beta launch and not only could no one connect, but they exposed information that would allow anyone to access anyone else's docs. Last launch they add instagram, but no ability to remove accounts, in addition to being very buggy. Now this launch and still buggy (I can't even use our google spreadsheet we use for a test matrix). In addition the beautiful new site broke (for whatever reason) and all the text smashed into on lump of overlapping mess.
You guys have something that is incredibly close to being awesome, but sloppy execution will put a sour taste in everyones mouth and scare them off from each successive release. Spend a little extra time and make sure you're releasing stuff that is bulletproof and your company will grow.
Thanks, Brad, for the feedback. We addressed many of the bugs people found in prior releases, but will look into this spreadsheet issue (perhaps you could describe it in a bit more detail at feedback.collections.me?). As for the site, please refresh and it'll self-correct, but we're aware of that bug and are working to make sure it never happens.
I'm enjoying the new version much more than the original. Much less buggy, smoother and an overall pleasant experience.
What I like most is a better way for me to use Google Docs. I'm more inclined to use it over Office simply by virtue of how the app handles things. Well done :)

does that mean you contracted out some of the UI/UX?
