This morning I was on the TVNZ Breakfast show, spending 6 minutes talking about RecycleMap. The amount of interest and traffic that it generated temporarily took the site offline immediately after the interview, and when it came back it was noticeably slower for a while. This may have been something to do with the (about) 300 people trying to access RecycleMap at the same time!

The crazyness has died down and the site is now back to normal speeds, though traffic is still up (Hurrah!) – I’ve also only just finished replying to all the emails that came in today, busy busy!

In other news, it was also brought to my attention that my “Buy me a coffee” link was set to USD, which led to a nasty surprise for a generous supporter. I’ve fixed that issue so the dollar amounts should now be in NZD.

I’m still looking in to some form of discussion board or community style feature, as I feel there would be a huge benefit for everyone to be able to openly discuss recycling topics from across the country.
