THE Roanoke TIMES - Aug 17 - The Roanoke Time's BigLickU will fully launch this month. The social network targets the 50,000 students attending the Roanoke-Blacksburg area colleges, like Radford and Virginia Tech, and is the first attempt by a large metropolitan newspaper to reach into the college market. The site hopes to increase registered users from the current 960 to at least 5,000 by early 2008. FULL ARTICLE @ THE ROANOKE TIMES

Mark Brooks: Facebook has left the door open for student focused SNS. CollegeTonight.com and other student focused sites are in the works.
