Yahoo is calling on Microsoft to bump up its buyout bid, but the trouble is a number of the Internet giant's largest investors own shares in both stocks.
During a visit to Australia this week, Flickr founder and former Yahoo staffer Stewart Butterfield criticised the search giant for its lack of an innovative culture compared to rival Google.
The departure of Flickr's co-founders follows the earlier resignation of Jeff Weiner, who was executive vice president of Yahoo's network division.
