Facebook at Work
The world's most popular social network has proven to be more than just an environment for sharing photos and statuses. And it is that its walls accommodate technology and enough possibilities to manage entire communities, allow the exchange of messages and photographs or interaction with tools and applications, in addition to serving as a platform business advertisingSomething that has worked really well all over the world and that Facebook now wants to implement in the professional markets. That is why since last January there has been Facebook at Work, an adaptation of this social network to the working world
It is nothing more nor less than taking advantage of the communication possibilities that this social network offers but in work environments Something like using Facebook for internal communication of the company, either to contact colleagues through instant messages and free, collaborate in groups , make public some information, etc. All this with a own work account, new and completely independent from the usual Facebook account And, of course, with an independent application.
This is how Facebook at Work (Facebook at work in Spanish) emerges as a service and as an application. The only requirement is that the company for which you work hasalready activated this service for welcome their workers. If this is the case, simply download the application already available for Android and iOS and activate a work account This is completely independent from the regular account the user communicates with with friends and family. In fact, only coworkers at the same company using Facebook at Work They can see the content published by work accounts. And it is that the main idea of this service is not so much leisure as in Facebook original.

Another interesting option raised in Facebook at Work is to use the groups to work on some project Something that offers a collaborative environment to have direct but independent communication from the rest of the workers Finally there is thesystem messaging, which offers both individual and group chats to communicate and inform quickly and directly.
In short, a review of the social network Facebook that wants to cross the barriers of the merely idle to move to the professional definitively.
