Facebook is preparing to plunge into the office collaboration and communication space with something it’s calling “Facebook At Work,” according to a Monday report.
The new offering will be similar to the consumer version of Facebook, but it will allow workers to chat with each other, connect with their professional contacts, and collaborate on projects. Such a move could pit Facebook against existing players providing some or all of those services to the enterprise — namely, Microsoft, Google and LinkedIn.
