+This Web site is a *microblogging* service -- a way for you to tell
+your friends and fans about what you're doing, wherever you are. You
+can post small (140 characters or less) texts to the site, and all
+your friends who "subscribe" to your posts will receive messages from
+you.
+
+The code is available under a Free Software/Open Source license, which
+means that you can set up your /own/ microblogging service. It
+supports the [OpenMicroBlogging](http://openmicroblogging.org/)
+standard, so that people using different services can subscribe to
+each others notices with as little work as necessary.
