MyPonoko beta rolled out to New Zealand’s 4 million people September 24

Today we are really excited to announce that MyPonoko (beta) is now live for people in NZ to login to make and sell their product ideas.
In fact, earlier this afternoon we sent email to all the kiwis who signed up over the last six months to let them know they can now get started designing and adding their creative ideas and products. Now that we have gotten past the massive traffic overload from last week we are now beginning the roll out of MyPonoko to the world. Starting with the 4 million or so in New Zealand.
However, please be aware we are still in beta and with the increased coverage we’ve been getting across the internet there may still be some small issues. We will be carefully monitoring our internet hardware infrastructure and we’ve also gone to the considerable trouble of mugging several hobbits on the streets of Wellington in order to find a magic potion that causes servers to handle any level of traffic.
Now, we are fully aware that there are many other wonderful people from around the world who are keen to get on the site. We do hope to roll out to other countries very soon and we’ll have updates on that within the next month. Thanks for your patience out there, we know you want to get in … we want to let you in as fast as we can too! Please be aware that as a buyer you can access the site already no matter where you are in the world, so if you want to purchase a product that catches your eye then go for it.

Finally, a site that is user-friendly too help the geeks and non-geek design-lovers alike find people with whom they can co-design – wherever they are in the world – plsu find buyers. Love it!
