Facebook is reportedly working on a new version to make your working hours more productive.The new service called “Facebook at Work” will allow employees to have work-friendly chats, connect with business partners, document collaboration and increase storage facilities.The enterprise-friendly version of its service will also take on LinkedIn that currently has 90 mn active monthly users.It is not known exactly when the professional site will launch, but it will be free initially.
Facebook employees use Facebook for everything: they use it instead of email, as their group chat room, to collaborate on documents, to IM, to share news. Sources close to the company tell us a few other companies are in a pilot mode, testing a version of Facebook at their companies that mimics how Facebook employees uses it internally.For example, if someone at Facebook notices something on campus that needs to be fixed, they post a photo of the broken thing to the facilities management group.
In fact, through such photos, the maintenance crew noticed that employees were always cutting across a certain section of grass. So they put a brick path in.The key to a Facebook At Work service will be how much Facebook lets people separate their work identities from their personal Facebook selves.
