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.
