We got some really nice traffic this week from an article about Floorplanner in the Business 2.0 magazine. The article was published in last month’s magazine issue but the real traffic came when it was published on their website and was linked throughout the CNN network.

During the peak there were over 10 new accounts created each minute and it was a good test to see if our site could handle this. Luckily the site held up perfectly and Jaap, who was monitoring the traffic closely, didn’t had to resolve to any drastic measures. BTW the article was written by Erick Schonfeld who just got a new job at Techcrunch. Congratulations!

Today Floorplanner was also discussed on the popular TWIT radioshow by Leo Laporte and dr Rick Alber. We didn’t get a chance yet to hear the radio show ourselves but a short summary can be found here

Over the past few weeks there has been an increasing number of websites and blogs writing about Floorplanner. As the complete list would be too long to post here we made short selection of nice quotes that you can find below:


Wall Street Journal : I had a great time playing with it. Should our project ever pan out, I think the time I spent with it will prove useful



Lifehacker : We’ve suggested a few layout tools for floor planning in the past, but Floorplanner is by far the most robust.



Webware : Floor Planner is fun and easy overall




Yahoo Tech : I would have finished this post sooner, but I’ve been tinkering with it for awhile, moving imaginary furniture around to come up with an imaginary new look for my living room.



Core77 : This awesome interactive floorplan tool lets you create and share plans that truly reflect the dimensions of your space.

Cybernet : Floorplanner.com is definitely one design tool that you’ll want to use. Best of all, it’s free and easy to use. When I say easy, I mean easy.



WDR Fernsehen : Perfekt (19/20 points)




BobVila : This is a great tool for visualizing your living space, even if you have no plans to move your family or the sofa.
