MyOffice: Groupware Tool launches on Facebook
A Facebook groupware tool has just been launched called MyOffice, which includes private discussion boards, file sharing, a schedule, and to-do lists you can share with a public or private group within Facebook.
The current MyOffice tools are pretty basic, but the three Columbia University students who created it are already responding to user feedback to improve and extend features. It’s very easy to use and seems to work well. Each project gets its own dashboard with a helpful activity stream that keeps you on top of the latest moves by team members.
This is the sort of application I have been expecting to see a lot more of since Facebook launched itself as a platform in May – something very simple but useful that lets one stop just poking around, and start collaborating with your network, and drawing in new partners and ideas to projects.

David,
Thanks for the comments. In addition to the dashboards, scheduling, private discussions, and file sharing that you mentioned, people seem to be very taken by the simplicity of connecting with friends in a productive way. Leveraging Facebook’s existing infrastructure and friend networks is so powerful!
Thanks again and all the best,
Brandon
