Oh tipsters, you are so helpful and loveable. From a Myspacer:

Have you heard of Brad Garlinghouse at Yahoo? He is seriously cute.

It looks like Lloyd Braun isn't the only person soon-to-be-leaving Yahoo. I work at MySpace, and there has been lots of chatter in the news about us getting into email and instant messaging. All legit. Brad was here in our offices, meeting with our founders Chris DeWolfe and Tom Anderson.

Brad runs Yahoo's email and instant messenger, along with a couple of other things and I hear he's our top pick to do the same for MySpace. I also hear he's supposed to be back in a couple weeks and that we're trying to get him to meet with the big guns in New York.

We're going to steal Yahoo's cutest employees AND all their users.

"Seriously cute"? Not by Yahoo standards (since Yahoo's basically L.A. in a bottle). But defecting to Myspace? I can believe that.

(By the way, as for Yahoo's transient Media Group head, word is that all the "Lloyd's out of Yahoo" rumors have kept Lloyd solidly in Yahoo. Say a prayer, Lloyd, to the gods of irony.)
