Flickr founders Caterina Fake and Stewart Butterfield have joined an exodus of senior Yahoo managers. Fake, who led the effort to create Brickhouse, Yahoo’s San Francisco-based startup incubator, will not be returning from maternity leave. Butterfield, her husband, who served as general manager of Flickr, will depart July 12. The couple, who founded the popular photo-sharing site together and sold it to Yahoo in March 2005, are the latest in a string of high-profile resignations that have coincided with the collapse of Microsoft’s attempt to acquire Yahoo.
