Facebook is reportedly developing a professional social network for workspace, according to a latest report from the Financial Times. The social network is working internally on “Facebook at Work”.
The report further states that “Facebook at Work” would allow users to chat with their colleagues, connect with professional contacts and collaborate over documents. It will have features such as a News Feed, groups, messaging capabilities and so on. The new initiative will apparently have separate work profiles, privacy settings and document sharing in order to enable collaboration in work places.
Moving on the report states that Facebook at Work account will be a separate account from your regular Facebook account and will be ad free for some time at least. Facebook has reportedly been working on the tool for at least a year and has begun testing with external companies as a launch draws near, said the report. The social network is currently working on “Facebook at Work” in a pilot program at London.
