The networking site KNeTWiT allows college students to upload content for sharing.
KNeTWiT is free to use and may even help you make a buck or two.
"KNeTWiT is an online networking program where students can upload their notes and get paid for them, and other students can download them for free," according to Andrew Clark, a Manchester, Tenn., sophomore and secretary of the Student Government Association. "It's a great resource," he added.
Students can find the classes they are in or begin a class if it is not already on the Web site, Clark said. "It's very easy."
"The corporate headquarters is in Chattanooga and they chose UTC to be the first school to use it," Clark said.
Only UTC can use the Web site right now, but KNeTWiT is going to expand to other schools in the future, Clark said. "It's going to be huge."
Right now, KNeTWiT does not have a great selection of notes, according to Elizabeth Sims, a Dandridge, Tenn., sophomore.
"When I was on [KNeTWiT], it was pretty new, so there weren't any notes posted that I could use," she said. "It's free to get notes," Sims said. "It's free for everything you do."
Sims said the Web site is simple to use. "You just create a username and password and put in your e-mail address, they'll send you a verification e-mail and you can use it," she said.
"You can go online, submit your notes and get paid," Sims said.
"If you take good notes it's a good source for a little extra money," she said.
"You can type in your school, put in your classes, and your classmates' notes that they've posted," Sims said.
Kasey McPherson, a Cleveland, Tenn., freshman, said she found the Web site while looking on Facebook but has not tried it yet.
McPherson said she plans to try KNeTWiT. "I think it's great because if you miss something from your class you can find it on there."
Word of the networking site has not gotten around to everyone yet. "This is the first time I've ever heard of [KNeTWiT]," William Blankenship, a Chattanooga freshman, said.
Blankenship said he believes a Web site like this could be good or bad.
"I can see where some people would be concerned because you don't have to go to class," he said. "It would be a reason to skip class because you know it's going to be there."
People who attend class would still find the Web site useful, Blankenship said.
"With the stuff you don't understand in class, you may find something that helps you understand better on the Web site," he said.
