Facebook at Work lets business have their very own social network

FB@Work was initially revealed to be Facebook’s secret project aimed at enterprise users. And today, the social media giant has finally unveiled this new business tool called Work (or Facebook at Work).

This will be available as a standalone application on major app hubs and will also be accessible through the browser version of Facebook. Facebook at Work will adopt the theme and UI of the standard Facebook app, so it will act and work like the app normally would but with the name and logo of your choice.

Bear in mind that Facebook is only making the app available as a pilot to begin with, so not everybody will be able to access it immediately. But we can expect Facebook to subsequently fast forward the rollout of the app to everyone across the world. This could finally be your gateway to using Facebook at a workplace, where the use of social networks is usually frowned upon.

There is no word on whether Facebook will charge a fee for these services or rely on ads to monetize this project. Interestingly, this is what Facebook employees use internally to communicate with each other. So its availability in Beta is a little surprising.

What do you make of this new app from Facebook?
