Jamaican Jokes late last week became the Caribbean’s first Facebook App. The app pitch to facebook users is “Get yuh belly full of laughs with a random Jamaican joke on your profile page every day. Warning … for big people only!”. Jamaican Jokes also has a facebook group and a website.

It was created by Sandor Panton who’s the founder of Top5Jamaica.com, the most comprehensive search directory of Jamaican sites anywhere on the Internet. He also owns and operates an extensive network of Jamaican, Caribbean and International websites and blogs across various industries/topics including sport, humor, entertainment and healthcare. Sandor is widely considered the region’s premier expert on the Internet, domain services, and the monetization of sites.

Update: jamaicanjokes seems not to be the first Caribbean Facebook app. The Trinidadians were first. Simply Intense media had created VoteTnT, a virtual facebook election for the November national elections. You could add the application to cast your vote for the Government of Trinidad & Tobago. It tracked the votes gathers them everyday to display on your Facebook profile. It was added over 2000 times and has over 1000 votes cast to date, according to the report on Allyuh.com.

    And before the Vote TnT application, two, young, Trini entrepreneurs who operate Musikshed.com, an online music store, created the musikshed application that plays the musik of artistes on www.musikshed.com:
    http://apps.facebook.com/musikshed/.

    People are taking full advantage of the viral marketing opportunities Facebook presents, and especially in Trinidad, young people are using it to reach their targets. It would eb great to collate all the applications and marketing ventures taking place within Facebook. But it’ll be painstaking though, since every day something new happens!
