Two layoffs ago they cut 'brick house' which was a hands-on innovation cell, purveyors of live.yahoo.com (a 2007 version of chatroullete with many more features and 5-way video chat) and fire eagle, the GEO standard, and other nice stuff.

man, it's depressing to count a company history in 'layoffs'

Yup. They are similar. Yahoo! Live was pretty awesome.
