About KnowTnT.com

There are no big ideas behind KnowTnT.com, but there are small ones. Some are lessons learned by the publisher since the 1990s, some are implicit criticisms of other attempts to do things for Trinidad and Tobago on the Internet, and still others are experimental. To list all the ideas behind KnowTnT.com would be impossible because it's a constantly growing list.

It all started with a lot of, "Wouldn't it be nice if?". There was some, "They're charging people for what?". There was even some, "That's a horrid way to do it." Over the course of almost a decade, these things accumulated. In that, this site has been planned for roughly a decade.

On Saturday, 17th October, 2009, the ideas hit critical mass. So here's the site, started without fanfare or a party.

KnowTnT.com is expected to change over time. It has to.

In broad strokes, KnowTnT.com is planned to give voice to people of Trinidad and Tobago. It's planned to expose businesses within Trinidad and Tobago to the Internet at no cost while allowing users an easier way to find businesses within Trinidad and Tobago. Non-profits and NGOs, as well, will get their free pages.

In even broader strokes, KnowTnT.com is to be used to leverage social media for those that matter in Trinidad and Tobago - the people. The businesses. The customers, be they inside or outside of Trinidad and Tobago.

That said, KnowTnT.com will evolve as needed to accomplish the goals. And your voice can be a large part of that - just drop a note in the contact form.

As of this time, KnowTnT.com is still in Beta. It will come out of Beta when there are 10,000 pages on the site.
