Honolulu | Ex-staffers form entertainment site

Pacific Business News reports the following story:

A team of former Honolulu Advertiser employees who produced Metromix Honolulu for the Gannett newspaper’s site has created a website that covers food, events and nightlife on Oahu.

Nonstop Honolulu launched yesterday with photo galleries, restaurant reviews, party pictures, event listings and blogs. The website is patterned after Metromix Honolulu, which was co-owned by Gannett.

Gannett sold the Advertiser in May to the owner of the paper's competitor, the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. Hundreds of GCI employees got laid off in the process. Since then, the papers have been merged under a new flag, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.
