Yesterday we launched WorkSnug as a layer within Layar. This is our first step to providing WorkSnug to the growing army of devoted Android users. Layar is (we think) the world's largest augmented reality browser. If you're reading this on an Android device, you can click here to get going.

 

As we've previously noted, we're working hard on getting a full, standalone Android version of WorkSnug. In the meantime, enjoy WorkSnug for Layar!

We're really excited to launch our WorkSnug Ambassadors Programme this week.

 

A WorkSnug Ambassador is someone with their finger on the pulse of the mobile working scene in their local area. They ensure WorkSnug's workspace reviews are rich, growing and they act as our feet on the street, all around the world. Want some local intelligence on the best places to work in Paris, London or Barcelona? Just ask an Ambassador! They'll be glad to help out.

 

This is a growing programme, and we're still looking for Ambassadors in some of our key cities. We're looking for active & energetic mobile workers, who know their way around both the digital world and the local mobile working scene. Key cities in need of an Ambassador include:

 

Could this be you? Apply online on the Ambassadors page or contact our Community Builder Anke Holst for more details.

 

The WorkSnug Ambassadors Programme is kindly supported by Plantronics, Skype Access & Hub Culture. Leaders in the field of nomadic working, these partner companies lend their expertise & experience to the WorkSnug community, as well as ensuring the Ambassadors themselves are kitted out with leading-edge technology and facilities.  

1. We're going to share WorkSnug with Layar, the cool augmented reality app which acts as a browser for all sorts of other people's content. We have a techie on the case this week and we should go live with that within days. When it's live, you'll be able to see WorkSnug's workspaces when you use Layar. This means any of the devices on which Android works. A partial fix.
2. We're going to build a standalone Android app, as soon as we can. Certain commercial elements must be in place before we do this, and we're not ready to hit go just yet. It's quite an involved build, and building it good means not building it cheap. In the interim though, if you use an Android device, wait  a few days, download Layar (I bet you already have) and look for us in there.

Happy to chat about it: hello@worksnug.com

We've written a piece for TechCrunch on our no-flying policy. Interesting as much for the comments thread as the stuff we wrote...
