   This means, they left flickr? I think then many people go to another picture sharing community. what you think ?

   Gedas: They are leaving flickr soon. No, I do not think there will be a mass exodus but I do think flickr will slowly change. These two people had a vision that is deep within flickr’s DNA and in time, with them gone, Yahoo will no doubt change flickr into one more of it’s holdings.

   I’m not leaving flickr any time soon. It’s the best way to share my photography, both here and there.

   Hmmm.. apparently (reading the comments on Techcrunch), they have been absent for a while (maternity leave and doing something else). Sad news though.

   Jon: I’m sure it’s a combination of many things: Yahoo going down, stock options and deal maturing, and maternity leave. I just hope Yahoo can keep it up. I’m not hopeful.

   Another take on this from the NY Times: Flickr Founders Leave Yahoo.
