BRINK is a creative digital agency pushing boundaries in web, mobile, social, video, and even indie film.

This is our blog. A place to cheer the successes and lament the failures. To give wisdom and share experiences. Sometimes it's business, sometimes it's pleasure, but it's always through the eyes of an agency living on the BRINK.

Enjoy!
Here is a new Cheat Sheet for Google+ that has practically gone viral today.  Made by Simon Laustsen (thanks, Simon!) and providing us with some simple tricks, it makes navigating Google+ a little easier.
My main problem is that all the features listed are similar to ones on other social media sites.  Yes, they have some cool text editing and expand on the ability to “reshare” (though I’m still not a fan of privacy and sharing settings in Circles — I find it too complicated and repetitive to keep choosing who I share things with).  The dropping of the link and pictures into the share box are cool features, but things that I never really thought Facebook needed. In other words, they seem a little superfluous.
What I really want to see is a list of features that are completely new to Google+ and fix problems that exist on other social media sites.  For instance, the “mute” feature I just learned about.  Essentially, you can turn off notifications from a long conversation that you’re tired of getting comments on.  It’s right there and it’s easy to find, unlike this feature on Facebook.  This gives me an incentive to use Google+’s services, instead of sticking with Facebook, which I’m perfectly content with.
