Welcome to News About Tech from all around the world

Out of pure curiosity we started tracking Yahoo execs who’ve left the company since January 2007. It’s hard to believe, but at least fifty of them have bailed out in the last year and a half.

Some went to work for Google. Others went to startups. Many just left without saying what’s next.

We aren’t able to track the thousands of non-execs who’ve quit or were laid off, there are just too many of them. Many of these ex Yahoo’ers have congregated on this Yahoo Alumni Page on Facebook, with over 1,500 members.

We’re keeping an active spreadsheet of as many as we can track down, and have copied it below as well as a timeline widget from Google. If you know of ones we missed, please let us know in the comments.

And it appears that the exodus is just really getting started. We’ll keep this up to date in the future as well.
