> Sometimes, you need to cut off an arm to save a body.
Why not sell the arm (more like tentacle)? Flickr has a huge fanbase and great street cred, if it's not sustainable to keep it, why not sell it?
The only answer I can think of is that the tough decisions are not being made.... what's being decided is how to keep the cash flow going until the inevitable external acquisition, mining brand value.
I've lived in this kind of corporate mentality. Expect Yahoo to be sold soon - just wonder who's buying.
