RIP: Yahoo! Design closed down - data visualization & visual design - information aesthetics…
From Infostethics:
An anonymous source just informed me the entire Yahoo! Design Innovation team (once coined yHaus ) has been laid off, part of a closing-down of all innovation teams at Yahoo. in addition, their work has been completely removed from their original website. Infosthetics has posted their work here & here, & luckily had stored some copies of their works locally.
infosthetics (and sadrhino!) feels bad for the people involved. how does Yahoo! wants to increase their share price by firing creative, talented people? Google, Swivel, Many Eyes, Stamen: are you hiring?
