You’ll like this if you want to keep your private and professional lives separate…
You know that moment a notification pops up on your phone and it’s a friend request, exciting but who could it be?
Oh no it’s that overly inquisitive person in work who only wants to be friends with you to creep in your pictures. You know the type.

The Financial Times says the new site will look and work like the current Facebook but you’ll only be connected to people you work with.
