Today at f8, Facebook’s developer’s conference, Monster.com®,
the leading job matching engine and flagship brand of Monster
Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: MWW), announced that BeKnown™
- Monster’s new professional networking app on Facebook – is launching
new features that make it possible for people to add professional
updates such as career changes and college graduation directly to their
Facebook profile.
"We’re announcing BeKnown’s Facebook integration as a new way for people
to feature career updates and highlight their professional brand to help
advance their career goals,” said Matt Mund, vice president of product
management at Monster Worldwide. "People can now share customized
activity back to Facebook specifically tailored to professional
networking that goes beyond ‘liking.’ These new features give BeKnown
members a better way to show a more complete story of who they are as a
professional.”
Monster’s BeKnown professional networking app for Facebook is the
fastest growing app of its kind on Facebook (AppData Sept. 2011).
BeKnown is currently available in 19 languages in 35 countries and
accessible for free via mobile apps on Android
and iPhone
devices.
Facebook has always made it easy to discover great things and now
BeKnown makes it even easier for people to express themselves as
professionals, and connect with friends and family to better express
what they’re doing at work or where they’re at in their career. Through
consistent and easy to understand settings on BeKnown, people remain in
full control over how their activity is shared, thereby maintaining the
separation of personal and professional information.
