Roanoke Times planning BigLickU.com
Roanoke Times is going to be launching a new user-generated social networking site called BigLickU.com.
Dan Wheeler says the site will bring together more than 50,000 college students at seven schools in SW Virginia through entertainment, information and advertising.
Features of the site:The “students” are registered users
“Administration” in keeping with the university theme
Content – 90% + student generated
Advertising – not just beer, but the many advertisers that want to reach these students
Dan explained how they created this site like a university. It will have an “athletic center”, “dining hall”, “residence hall”, “bookstore,” student life center”, “quad” and a “study lounge.” Each one had a networking/communication feature.
Dan: “We think that local does matter, and we can provide something that students can do virtually with local information and local interactions.”
