It would seem that part of the fallout from the failed Microsoft - Yahoo love fest, is the rapid flight of some of Yahoo's best and brightest. Brad Garlinghouse, head of Yahoo's communications and communities group, is the latest exec to join a full-fledged exodus. Two more left with him: EVP Qi Lu of engineering for search and ad technology, and SVP Vish Makhijani, also of search. This week, cofounders Caterina Fake and Stewart Butterfield of Flickr — which Yahoo purchased in 2005 — also left, following the departures of EVP Jeff Weiner, Yahoo's network division; and Jeremy Zawodny of the open source group. TechCrunch published a spreadsheet to keep track of executive departures. You know things are bad when you need a bloody spreadsheet to keep track of the numbers!
