Blink : An easy collaborative tool to share information inside the teams !
This tool is very useful, and I'm using it every day - even every minute - to share information with my team, or other people of my company. The global feed and the "history" allow also to don't miss information.
Pros
The product is easy to use. The possibility to create group is very interesting, as group can be done with the right persons to talk a specific subject. The global feed allows to share general information about the company.
Cons
The copy / paste option is working only in the blink feed. No possibility to copy directly to a Google Mail by example.

Cheap and unnecessary
Moving from Slack to Blink was a huge downgrade.
Pros
It attempts to play in the space of Slack.
Cons
It does everything other chat apps do in a worse manner or is poorly implemented.
I sent multiple bugs back to the company and none were interpreted correctly or I was told the issue I was facing in one platform was fixed in another platform.

Good for company communication, not finished for instant messaging and daily usage
If I have to describe Blink about our usage in Kuba, it is a, instant messaging application with feed.
Really, if our directors didn't force us to use it, I think we would use google Hangout instead, for a better integration, search, with the reste of google suite.
Pros
I really like the concept of feed to allow official communication in the same tool than chat, without sending email. It create a community feeling.
Cons
- Searching some discussion with someone is not easy (What we discussed 4 days ago on the chat ?)
- I haven't capability to mark a discussion as "unread" (I open the discussion on my phone, see somthing I will have to analyse before answering, I have to send email to me to think about that)
- When I do some mistake on a sentence, I have to click on edit, so use the mouse, instead of just use the up arrow, like in softwares like discord, that is very simplest to edit.
- For integration with a tool, I need administrator to allow me to do something (i.e jira) so I'm not free to use all capabilities of Blink.
- If I join files in a discussion, I can't arrange them, so theorically we have to create one different chat for each subject, but to search a chat from people name, I have always to click on "see all chats", so use the mouse, that is break the user experience from my point of view.
