Today, after years of internal testing, Facebook has released its own take on the office-based social networking service:  <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/workplace.fb.com\/\"><strong>Workplace<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Formerly known as <strong>Facebook at Work<\/strong>, Workplace is a social network service that is modeled after Facebook\u2019s own internal corporate network.

As the name implies, this feature will allow employees from different organizations to work together, a useful feature for companies that frequently participate in collaboration projects.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest selling point that Workplace has over other office-centric social networking service is its familiarity \u2014 Workplace is very much a reskinned version of Facebook. The pricing system for Workplace is also a boon for startups as well \u2014 it charges by the number of active users.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Workplace is a subscription-based service<\/strong>, with a free 3-month trial. The fee kicks in at USD3\/user every month for fewer than 1000 users, USD2\/user every month for 1000-10,000 users and USD1\/user for more than 10,000 active users. Non-profit organizations and educational institutions can use Workplace for free.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/timeline\/workplace-by-facebook-introduced\/\">Facebook Newsroom<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Office-centric social networking services like Yammer and Slack are a boon for companies, allowing employees from various departments of a company to communicate with each other within a single app or website.
