Flickr Founder Resigns From Yahoo! by Pretending to be a Tinbasher
Posted by Paul Woodhouse at June 24th, 2008
There seems to be an awful amount of second guessing as to what Flickr founder Stewart Butterfield meant in his Yahoo! resignation letter. Although I think it’s quite apparent he’s being overtly metalphorical:
And if you’re wanting to drink The Tinbasher milkshake, Stewie, just give me a bell.
Is this a real letter or a joke? If it is real, which I’m inclined to believe, I’m glad he resigned to pursue his passion of tin. He should start another tin business.
No, it’s a real letter, but he isn’t a real tinbasher.
I had a peculiar feeling this might happen.
