Infoworld is reporting that Microsoft has been developing a Facebook-like application for internal use. The application is expected to be unveiled tomorrow at the Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston.
Dubbed TownSquare, the program launched in January. The network has already been used by 8,000 Microsoft employees and averages 700 daily visitors.
Apparently, the design is similar to Facebook’s. Microsoft invested $240 million in Facebook last year.
TownSquare serves up enterprise news feeds and employee milestones such as career anniversaries, promotions, etc. The network can also notify users of the creation and editing of documents.
