The secret is out for Facebook At Work

The days of secretly checking Facebook while at work could be coming to an end thanks to a new professional version of the social network.

The California-based firm has just announced Facebook At Work, a version of the site that offers an alternative way for employees to communicate internally, which they say could be used as an alternative to email and intranet systems.

A statement from the tech giant said: “Facebook At Work lets you create a work account that is separate from your personal Facebook account. With a Facebook At Work account, you can use Facebook tools to interact with co-workers. Things you share using your work account will only be visible to other people at your company.”
