Stock News: Facebook (NASDAQ FB) Targeting Professional Space

Facebook Inc (NASDAQ FB) is a social networking site largely used for personal interactions rather than for professional reasons. The site most used for professional connections is LinkedIn, and according to a report from the Financial Times, Facebook is looking to move into the professional space.

Facebook Inc (NASDAQ FB) is planning to come up with a new version customized for workplace usage that will be known as ‘Facebook at Work’, according to a report from the Financial Times on Monday citing sources familiar with the matter.

The publication reported that the social networking giant has been secretly working on ‘Facebook at Work,’ which is going to be a new platform that will facilitate the professional life of its users. The new platform will enable them to chat with colleagues, connect with their professional contacts and easily collaborate over documents. This is likely one of the future plans that Zuckerberg recently talked about.
