Moulded on the format of a traditional Goan village tinto, it is open to all sections of the community - no distinctions - Left, Right or Center, any language. The Tinto is about news and current affairs, opinions, culture, art, literature, photography, video... Like the traditional tinto, visitors are free to talk about and listen to what they love. **The Power of One** It is easy for individual voices to be drowned in cyberspace, never to be heard. But when voices come together, we achieve greater amplification of individual messages - the Power of One. **Join the Community** We invite you to be a part of the community and share news from your perspective, features, opinions and multi-media content in your language. The platform would especially benefit grassroots movements, activists and bloggers to extend the reach of their message. To join the community please head to theVillage Tinto <http://www.villagetinto.in/users> . **Connect with us** <http://www.twitter.com/villagetinto> <http://www.facebook.com/pages/Village-Tinto/271146640533> Village Tinto Goa.
