I don't think it'll work. Why would I care what some girl did on Saturday, out of the other 18,000 people on my campus? It's cool to do that for say silicon valley because people actually know who you're talking about, but on a college campus it's a different story.<p>That and finding reporters to hire would be hard, and you can't realistically charge by each 1,000 pageviews. You're only going to get so much traffic from a site aimed at one college. And 2 posts per weekday? I don't think there is that much interesting stuff happening at Georgia Tech to write about. You'll end up having kids posting about the waterballoon slingshot they made at their dorm and used to hit kids walking to the campus bus.. but that's still "meh" in my book.

It also doesn't change the fact that it's a pretty terrible idea to begin with.

Anyways, please think a little harder next time. "People are infatuated with the lives of others (instead of living their own)." Yes! Screw people living their own boring lives!

Seriously? This is the "problem" you're trying to solve?
