Transpacific Industries were nowhere to be seen on their first day of work at the waste/recycling center in Ostend as up to 70 Waiheke protesters locked the gates and held vigil outside bearing banners and illiciting honks from passing motorists.

The multinational waste giant was to face a Waiheke-style welcome when it turned up for its first day managing the island’s multi-million dollar waste stream today.

A group of up to 70 islanders of all ages furious that company has displaced community-owned Clean Stream Waiheke Ltd, a 10-year success story in recycling and other aspects of community waste management began forming at around 6am this morning.

What Do You Mean You're Not On Twitter?

Unless you've been living under a rock you've probably heard or read about Twitter in recent weeks. It is reputedly the best thing since sliced bread. If you haven't caught up yet there's an intro here.

Everyone is on Twitter now, but we can say with a degree of certainty (albiet, a very small degree of certainty) that we were on before you. Check us out at http://twitter.com/waihekeradio We like Twitter. We use it to let you know when new podcasts have been put on-line, to give info about shows, and even to break news.

You can see our tweets right here on the Waiheke Radio site but you don't want to be having to do that all the time so get yourself a client. We use Twhirl, but another popular one is Tweetdeck.

So, go on, don't be the last person on the planet to get on Twitter, and we look forward to having you follow us.
