I don't really see the need for this, since the things you usually do on Facebook are not the same things you would do at a workplace community.


It's segmented with two accounts. An FB@Work account and your regular FB account.

Basically, everything at FB is run through FB. (e.g. Groups for everything!) Someone decided that because FB loves FB so much, and a billion people use it, others would want to run their business through FB as well. Now that there's post and comment search, it's not useless as a repository of knowledge, but at the same time I have a hard time believing that others will love FB@Work as much as FB loves FB@Work.


You forgot that you are the product being sold. This gives fb whole new layers of demographic data to sell to their customers.
