Housekeeping: For some reason, our site traffic statistics are showing a lot of visitors searching for BigLickU, the social networking site started by the Roanoke Times. Unfortunately, they are arriving at a post we wrote several months ago about the implications of BigLickU for college campus media. I'm almost positive that's not the information they're seeking. The interplay between the various media in Blacksburg (BigLickU, Roanoke.com, Collegiate Times, and Planet Blacksburg) is certainly an interesting story. In fact, Ralph Braseth interviewed someone at a media conference this weekend about BigLickU. But it's not the story for now.
