Interesting, there is definitely a market for this. Some of our customers at getstream.io use the API to build their own Facebook style apps for within their organizations. Building your own in-house social networks is of course quite a bit of work. Facebook should be much easier to get up and running.

The pricing seems really low for small firms and extremely expensive for larger ones. That sounds like a challenging position for the sales team working on this project.

I wonder if this comes with the full range of personalization algorithms for the feed.

Also wonder how they will handle the extensive customization that most enterprise customers will request.

It's a solid idea though, pretty similar to what Slack is trying to achieve.

My company was part of the prerelease program and its basically just like using a more professional version of Facebook. Like linkedin but internal only.

it's actually great to have a more social way of catching up with people. The main driver for us was pulling all the 'coffee machine is broken' type emails out of our 'work system' (email) and also let people share pictures of their pets and different social events going on around the world.

Plus the advantage is that there was massive uptake super quickly since everyone already had built in knowledge of how to use it from facebook.

Plus I can say stuff on there without my parents commenting on every single post i ever make which is nice...
