There’s a good reason for that. This past Friday, for exam- ple, whatzup.com tallied 3,596 individual visitors, and we’re averaging Ybetter than 2,200 unique visitors per day, up about 50 percent from this time last year.

Not that we want to discourage those of you who pick up the print version of whatzup from doing so, but you should check out the website as well. Why? Because we can do stuff on whatzup.com that we cannot do in print – things like providing a complete karaoke and DJ calendar; publishing a movie page that includes all of today’s, or tomorrow’s, or the next day’s movie times at all the movie theaters in the area; providing videos of performances by area bands; pro- viding up to date listings of all the national concerts in the region, not just what fits onto three, four or five printed pages – and that’s just scratching the surface.
