  • charliwag, on 06/17/2008, -1/+4I bet more people aren't digging this because they don''t know what Exodus means...
  • spudsstuff, on 06/18/2008, -0/+2Is Yahoo a sinking ship. It seems that way giving the number of people who are jumping.

  • kelvlam, on 06/17/2008, -1/+2so the titanic YHOO is really sinking fast huh?
  • pleeker, on 06/17/2008, -0/+1Ha! Love it.
  • MaxMWood, on 06/18/2008, -0/+1Explain?
  • 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.
  • rgladstein, on 06/18/2008, -0/+1Well, there's always Picasa. Or maybe not.
  • 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).
  • kickingback77, on 06/18/2008, -0/+1Not a surprise here...
  • 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)
  • seononsense, on 06/18/2008, -0/+0The exite letter is up: http://valleywag.com/5017424/stewart-butterfields- ...
