In the office, usually, someone turns up their noses if they see us being used Facebook. But what if we instead used social media to work, to share experiences and to look for new jobs? This is what LinkedIn has been doing for some time, but now there is another actor in the race, namely Mark Zuckerberg.
The platform Facebook at Work, which has been talked about so much in the last two years, It should be ready soon. Facebook for work will not be very different from social networks that we all know nor will require, according to the latest indiscretions, credentials different from those used to access the usual Facebook profile.
Consider it an “offshoot” that exploits mechanisms, structure and dynamics of the classic social network that we know, to put them at the service of a professional or a team of professionals. Facebook at Work yes announces more like a sort of "intranet" than as a social network for 'external' dialogue. Upon closer inspection, in reality, the purely "social" functions are only linked to the internal communication of the groups.
How will Facebook at Work work?
Facebook Work, in summary, will become soon a real "virtual workplace” dedicated to work. Will there also be room for functions similar to those of Linkedin? In other words, Facebook Work will also host an exchange professional contacts and CVs? We have not yet been informed. Of course, Facebook at Work (but we can call it, if you want, Workplace) will be a social network professional and for professionals.
Developers they are working on the project for about two years, and a beta version is currently being tested in 400 companies.
But what will the prices be? Facebook is said to adopt the freemium model (who already uses LinkedIn), with some features freely accessible but limited for smaller entities and all others available upon subscription.
