Abstract
Despite the rapid internet evolution in Malaysia, the farming community is still not getting the full benefits due to the lack of exposure. Also efforts to get them to use the internet without the availability of proper resources are useless. TaniNet is an interactive on-line agricultural and biotechnological web-site aimed at providing the agricultural community with information on the advances of planting materials and practices. The major goal of TaniNet is to get the rural farming community to use the internet as means of accessing and sharing information and to familiarize them with the latest biotechnology advances and their applicability to the Malaysian agricultural context. In this paper we present the experience of developing and implementing TaniNet.
