CompanyLoop is a new site that lets businesses create groups for coworkers to connect online.

CompanyLoop is a new site that lets businesses create groups for coworkers to connect online. This operates somewhat like a white label version of LinkedIn, limiting functionality to only those included in the company.

In order to join CompanyLoop, you must find your company if it’s already included on the list, or create a group for your company. Any company that is created will be approved by CompanyLoop before becoming available on its site. If you do find your company, you can join by entering your company email address, which will then be verified by CompanyLoop. Once you’ve joined a company group, you can tag others in your company, or applaud them, as a sort of recommendation tool for peers. Find others that can help you with a work-related issue, and pose questions to coworkers. You can invite others from your company to join.

CompanyLoop is a very private way to connect with coworkers. There is no way to see the profiles of others in company groups outside of your own, and you cannot connect or befriend others outside your groups either. There are many ways in which business-oriented applications are looking to become more social, and this could be considered one way. While other services may have provided a license or a software download for the internal use within a company, CompanyLoop is providing a free, web-based tool with which to perform the same actions.
