As far as the appearance of the site is concerned, according to other online reports, it will be visually resemble Facebook, with a newsfeed and groups, but users will be able to keep their personal profile private. "Facebook at Work could also challenge Google's drive, email and chat products and Microsoft's Outlook email service."

The concept of 'Facebook at Work' was first reported by TechCrunch earlier this year, who revealed that the project is being developed by employees in London.

"We are making work more fun and efficient by building an at-work version of Facebook," a source reportedly told the technology website at the time.

However, it is not sure, when the new "Facebook at Work" site will be launched. The multibillion dollar firm has not spoken about it formally as of now.
