I think that what Ms Mayer wanted to say is everybody has the needs of the professional photographers. If we define professional the same way as in sports - people attempting to make money with the craft.<p>Every serious hobbyist has the same need for software tools, space, resources etc.<p>So service pitched towards the pros does not make sense in yahoo point of view - when there is a lot wider audience with the same desires.<p>Their between the line message is "If you are serious about photography flickr is a nice place to be"
