- spudsstuff, on 06/18/2008, -0/+2Is Yahoo a sinking ship. It seems that way giving the number of people who are jumping.
- davidmihm, on 06/18/2008, -0/+1Shocking. It would really be a shame if Flickr's user experience dropped at all as a result. One of the greatest Web 2.0 sites ever.
- ironeus, on 08/01/2008, -0/+1The article didn't mention what it was that caused their departures. Anyone have any insight? (other than apparently it's trendy to walk away from Yahoo)

- kickingback77, on 06/18/2008, -0/+1Not a surprise here...
- Topher06, on 06/18/2008, -0/+1As I have said before, Yahoo will go down as the dumbest tech company in all of history (well, a distant second after SCO).
