Many engineers from Flickr have been laid off as part of a massive lay-off that took place at Yahoo! yesterday. Flickr Chief Architect Cal Henderson and Co-founder Stewart Butterfield are now rumored to be parterning on a new start-up.
Butterfield resigned from Yahoo! in June 2008 and Henderson left yesterday. The new start-up is expected to revolve around social gaming according to Kara Swisher. Yahoo! purchased Flickr for $35 million in March 2005. Caterina Fake, wife of Butterfield and another co-founder in Flickr joined a start-up called Hunch as the chief product officer.
