Rothenberg announced his resignation yesterday via a <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/mroth\/status\/47413775799812096\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tweet<\/a> and further elaborated about his decision on his <a href=\"http:\/\/mroth.info\/blog\/2011\/03\/14\/on-leaving-flickr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog<\/a>. The future of Flickr is still uncertain but Yahoo! maintains that it is committed to Flickr, just like they were committed to Delicious. Rothenberg maintains that his reasons for leaving were strictly personal, and Yahoo! parrots those reasons in its official statement, so don&#8217;t expect any public disgruntlement from him regarding his purple (former) overlords. Markus Spiering steps into Rothenberg&#8217;s spot for the interim but Flickr&#8217;s future and direction remains as big of a mystery as most of the other IPs on Carol Bartz&#8217;s chopping block. We wish Matthew nothing but the best of luck in his new endeavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Sources: <a href=\"http:\/\/venturebeat.com\/2011\/03\/15\/flickr-head-of-service-announces-his-departure-from-yahoo\/\">VentureBeat<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2011\/03\/14\/flickr-head-out\/\">TechCrunch<\/a>, <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matthew Rothenberg, Flickr\u2019s Head of Service, has announced his resignation.
