Who knows what this means, or what it portends for the coming week at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, but if you go to the newspaper’s web site right now, you get immediately bounced to this url: http://disaster.seattlepi.nwsource.com/. Which looks, in part, like this:
Somehow I don’t think this is part of the online-only plan. But who knows, maybe it’s a result of some online-only tinkering.
Totally unrelated: I just saw an ad for Mark Driscoll being interviewed by the one and only Marlee Ginter, tonight on KOMO. I think my brain is throwing up.
What does “until full service is restored” mean at this point? Seriously?
I’ve gotten this redirect before but every time I have the Times site has been doing the same… but not tonight
disaster.seattlepi…? Could it be sabotage by a disgruntled employee? I can’t imagine there are too many gruntled employees left.
Earlier this evening the PI site @ nwsource.com (the Seattle Times Master site, I think) — said the SeattlePI URL no longer existed — they are doing some sort of massive changeover today. Separating the Times and the PI and launching a new site — or so I suspect. The PI is probably out of business on St. Patrick’s Day.
As always… Eli Sanders on the case… day and night.
Well, at least it’s an evocative URL.
The site’s back up. Same as it ever was.
Now back as seattlepi.com, and no longer redirecting to seattlepi.nwsource.com, which remains broken.
The links to my Seattle PI readerblog admin now redirect directly to Seattle PI.com not NWsource.com
Frank Blethen can suck it.
the PI is dying. We know it already. The constant minute by minute death watch is of interest only to other media folks, esp. alt. media gloaters.
Pls. just tell us when it dies.
(Or, I could skip over those posts, I know).
I like the link to “P-I Jobs” at the very bottom of the home page. Right.
Hearst Corporation pull plug on Seattle P-I print edition, Seattle P-I publish final print edition, freak out, online-only out, SEATTLE P-I BECOME ONLINE-ONLY NEWSPAPER!
ONLINE-ONLY SEATTLE P-I WILL SMASH ONLINE-ONLY SEATTLE TIMES!
And no, I don’t feel like letting it go.
