Wow! After a long and intense summer working in the old Facebook offices, the fbFund REV program comes to an end. Workstir spent the summer working alongside an amazing group of companies and now we release the fruits of our labors. Our number one goal this summer was to make Workstir better for getting you work and getting your work done, so in order to do that we are releasing a TON of new features:

Make a Facebook Connection!
Reviews are great but if you don't know the person leaving the review how much is it really worth? That's what's so great about trusted workers on Workstir, when your looking for that great painter, mechanic or handyman you can search for people based on recommendations left by your first, second and third degree friends. So sign up with Facebook (or add your Facebook account) and quickly see trusted workers in your area.

Open to the World
We heard you loud and clear, so starting today you can sign up for Workstir no matter where you are. Workers from all over the world can now join Workstir and show up when others search their cities.

A brand new look!
We spent a lot of time on our new logo and our new design and we hope you love it as much as we do (and even if you don't LOVE it, we hope you like it:).

Get Help
We also have a brand new way to get help, so if things don't look right or you don't see what your looking for, let us know at support@workstir.com

Whew! Its been a great summer but Fall is shaping up to be very cool indeed, we have some sweet new features around the corner and we'll be here all year long to get your fall projects out of the way. So clean that garage, walk that dog, fix that car, remodel that kitchen or plan that event. And of course, let us know what you think by using our handy UserVoice powered feedback widget (just click the feedback tab on the right side of any Workstir page).

Now..Get to work!
The Workstir Team
