Flickr co-founder joins new startup

What will all those ex-Yahoos do now they've left the mothership? Here's the answer to one, at least.

Flickr co-founder Caterina Fake, who left Yahoo with her husband Stewart 'bizarre resignation letter' Butterfield last month, blogged last night that after a period of dodging headhunters, board meetings and not being able to not work (I hear you, sister), she's joining a New York startup as chief product officer.

Hunch is a bit of a mystery beyond that; Fake says "it will be a consumer internet application, it will have a lot of user participation, and it is more than a little fun. Beyond that, we're still making it up."

No word on what Butterfield's decided to do. We just hope he leaves another company soon so we get another brilliant, if obtuse, resignation letter.
