We're certainly not changing Habari to target one group or another with 
features; However, we are targeting our marketing effort most 
effectively by spending the least effort to reach the most users.

We would unquestionably spend our marketing efforts better by 
approaching bloggers having larger audiences than approaching an 
equivalent audience-worth of average bloggers.

Those A-list bloggers, by virtue of talking about or using Habari, would 
then extend our reach to a larger number of average bloggers than we 
could ever reach on our own.  I believe that is the logic in approaching 
the "elite" blogger.

If there is a different way to reach an equivalent number of average joe 
bloggers directly, I'd like to know what that is.

If anyone means to suggest that we change Habari features to cater to an 
elite blogging crowd, please say so now, since I would take issue with 
the idea that A-list bloggers would want or need anything different from 
blog software than what we should provide to the average blogger.  I am 
pretty sure that no one is suggesting this though.
