The P.I.'s 2 Month 'Post-Print Death' Celebration!

Last Sunday; just two months after the Seattle Post Intelligencer released its last issue and went strictly digital, the 'paper' held a celebration/conference to reflect on the past sixty days. The atmosphere was optimistic, given that the site's director, Michelle Nicolosi, mentioned The PI's 4.3 million new user increase, over one year. 

Critics of the PI's new look claim the online version has far too many celebrity, fashion, and pet pictures, and not enough hard news. As Eli Sanders, a writer for The Stranger (a still functioning print/online news source) puts it, 'it's worth noting that celebrity photos and pet pictures are not exactly a unique offering on the internet.' 

So what are the lot of unfortunate ex-PI employees up to now?
