Eureka moment
“It’s just text.”
I was standing in the doorway of our apartment when it hit me.
Classifieds in the newspaper are just text. So an online classified just needs to be text. Simple, nimble, easy for anyone to post.
It felt as if the universe unfolded one of its secrets, and I eagerly told my then-partner, who looked at me like “What am I talking about?!”
The year was 2007.
It seems obvious now. Almost ridiculous to call it a revelation. But you have to remember where we were, and more importantly, where Trinidad was.
