yesterday we did a group session where we discussed the results. we mapped the 
users out into a graph on the white board, discussed where our primary 
interests are today (as demonstrated by our actions) and the next user group 
we'd like to move towards.

we determined that the general power user is our current general focus though 
we also encompass the customizers and children area of the graph (low 
experience, high curiosity) and socialiate / advanced user / office user ...

we want to move more towards the center of the graph, or the socialite / 
office worker area. or, as i wrote on the board, the "competent, cool, 
conscious consumer"

we then discussed what we are doing, or not doing as the case may be, to 
accomplish addressing that group of people.

we identified polish (visual design, consistency, general coolness) and 
documentation as the primary areas we need to improve on.

we will continue to work on the definitions and practical goals, but this 
initial work has already started the wheels turning in a very effective way.
