Combined Clouds with Busy Flow... Almost what I want!

Busy flow is basically a system in beta that allows you to collaborate on projects with others while integrating many different cloud services. It allows you to connect with services like +Dropbox annd +Google Drive .. . It is a neat service and works fine... What I want as a great service would be a locker or place that I can take all the great features and utilities from all these great services like +Box and +GitHub Anywhere and access it in one location taking my 50GB from box and my space from Drive and access it and edit etc... and  utilize it in 1 spot...
What busy flow has done is close.. It is more project oriented, which don't get me wrong isn't bad, but not what I need at the moment. What they are doing now isn't anything that you can't do anywhere else... seems to be basically a share script and a link to the sharing space on each platform, but it is convenient and a time saver... one step closer to what I need a virtual "corner office..." in this Google campus of an internet... lol

They seem to know how to set things up right for example they allow you to oauth into the service because no one likes the username and password input fields anymore.. and they are mobile in the App Store and Google Play.

I expect great things from +BusyFlow

Why a Faceless Brand is more effective than as a Personal Brand

Posting information on a National scale for a mission or for profit is more effective as a faceless brand than a personal brand.. A brand has a better way of pushing out information to mass people without readers tying the writer as a bias. It's harder to blame something if you don't have "someone" to blame. If you try to push out information to a mass audience as just a person, people are more skeptical to judging the things you write by all of your actions and interactions that you might have elsewhere. For mass distribution of a main goal or purpose would require a blog on a medium that is sole controlled and doesn't live in someone else's hub.  Register that brand on the big three social media platforms ( Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ and then you will slowly gain people to get it out. Takes time... but works.

The Equation I like to use is: Quality > Quantity, but you still need quantity just for Validity

The social media aspect should always drive people right back to the blog. The only thing that social media "SHOULD" be used for in a brand point of view is to push out site updates, engage in user conversation, push out a pic or two and chat with users. All content should be created on the blog/site. This is where people make a great mistake because people burn out on social media creating content in all of these different mediums and it is very tiring.
