Facebook is testing its workplace version

Social media giant, Facebook has said it is testing its workplace version called “Facebook at Work”.

The smartphone applications are on Apple’s online app store as well as the Google Play shop for Android-powered mobile devices, but can only be accessed by a few companies collaborating with the social network.

Speaking on the development, Facebook spokeswoman Elisabeth Diana, said:  “We have internally used Facebook at Work for many years now, it works pretty effectively and efficiently for collaboration. We think we can bring this insight to other companies”.

Facebook at Work has news feeds, chats, groups and other features that can be found on the widely-used social network, but sharing can only be done with people inside a particular company. Page backgrounds are a different color from the well-known Facebook blue, ostensibly so bosses will know at a glance when social networking is work-oriented.
