Workstir and Facebook Get Hitched



We are proud to announce that in our latest build we've included the ability to register with your Facebook account. We feel this is a huge step to providing authenticity to the users on Workstir.

Facebook prides itself on having a true to life "social graph". In part, this means users must register with real names and valid e-mail addresses. It makes sense for us to allow users to use their Facebook account to login to Workstir because we believe users should be transparent when conducting business online.

When you 'connect' using Facebook Connect we will import your photo from Facebook, your location, your about section, and your company (this can be removed if unneeded). Since we are able to import your location, you can start using the site in litereally 30 seconds. We can show you new jobs or workers in your area immediately.

We are taking classifieds to a whole new level- a level where consumers with real needs are contacted by real people with ratings and reviews from real people. We hope you join us!

Just to play the devil's advocate... I think more people would leave more comments, if site owners would simply put a statement on the comment page that IF they opt to do the openID thingee, or ANYTHING that necessitates going away from this page... they will LOSE the entire thing. I posted a goodie and I am really in no mood to try and reconcoct it.
