Flickr co-founders Stewart Butterfield and Caterina Fake want to pursue another opportunity that they haven't yet revealed, Yahoo spokeswoman Terrell Karlsten said Wednesday.
The couple sold Flickr to Yahoo for a reported $35 million in 2005, about a year after they created the Web site for showing off digital photography.
