Allows to keep in touch with coworkers on a daily basis. No need to switch to other software, Blink just gives all the updates you need. Plus, they have GIFs, what else do you need!

Some of the functality is a bit clunky (I think sometimes I get frustrated with the functionality) as I am expecting to be as flexible as Facebook when clicking on people/searching for colleagues and its not very good for that

It's just too generic. It's a Social Network for work which in my opinion might work great when you have huge teams or companies where communicating is difficult. For small teams that rely on Whatsapp, Basecamp or Slack, this tool doesn't add any value.
