Hi Thomas,

Can you tell me who your audience is for your content?  (contributors, users, public, developers)?

Can you give me 2-3 examples of posts you will make?

Lastly, is there any other Mozilla blog where it might make sense for you and your team to post (v.s Marketplace Apps having their own blog?).  I'm wondering if either Future of Firefox or Labs might work?  Doing what we can to limit the number of "official" Mozilla blogs to help keep messaging consistent (and less overwhelming).  Let me know on the above and we can decide the best place for your content.

[Thomas] Tier 1 and 2 app developers. The business people within those organizations such as marketing, BD, and finance people

Can you give me 2-3 examples of posts you will make?

[Thomas]I would love to have it on another blog but there isn't one which is reaching our audience. We've asked around with Firefox blog and MDN, none seem interested in the content we're trying to produce.

Hi Thomas,
Given your audience is not GA, I suggest using Tumblr or Word Press for this content.  Please confirm that works and I'll resolve this ticket.  Mardi
