Salim Ismail, a founder of PubSub and then of Confabb.com has joined Flickr’s Caterina Fake running Yahoo’s Brickhouse, a semi-autonomous unit that’s supposed to innovate, innovate, innovate. (You can read about it in the blog of Bradley Horowitz, Salim’s new boss, among other places.)

Salim is going to stay at Confabb as chairman. (Disclosure: I’m on Confabb’s board of advisors.) But clearly his focus will be on Brickhouse, the type of fun enterprise companies like Yahoo are very smart to start up. And Salim is a great choice for it. (Brickhouse is behind Yahoo Pipes.)
