Finally, Workplace Gets A Thumbs Up!

Facebook has finally announced that any business will now be able to sign up for the Workplace tool, the current name of Facebook at Work. This is Facebook’s first foray into the enterprise market, and it is surely a tough competitor to other such services namely Slack and HipChat. Now Workplace is used by more than 1000 companies and businesses for work colleagues and also as a part of the program Beta, which Facebook launched last year. The new pricing model and some brand new features have been announced, and Facebook has allowed the usage of Workplace for any companies for their purposes.

If you want to understand Workplace, the best way to see the similarities of Facebook and Workplace and the only difference is that you will be able to communicate only with your company people and not with your friends outside the company. The workplace has got almost all the components used in Facebook including grops, events, and messages. Employees can now be able to log in separately and can know what is happening with their teams and comment, and they can also like posts. You will not be able to add friends in Workplace like you can do on Facebook. Instead of that, you will be able to follow them to see their updates.
