In a bid to become an integral part of office life, the social networking site Facebook is reportedly working on a new version of its service 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.
It will look like Facebook with news feeds but will offer work and personal pages, the Financial Times reported.
And this will not just be a tool for social media among the working class. According to Financial Times, Facebook at Work could also challenge Google drive, email and chat products and Microsoft’s Outlook email service, Office software and Yammer, the corporate social network it bought for $1.2bn in 2012.
The enterprise-friendly version of its service will also take on LinkedIn that currently has 90 mn active monthly users, it added.
It is not known when the professional site will launch, but it will reportedly be free initially.
Workers at Facebook have already been using the work-focused site for a while, the report said.
