+ Our core belief is that your personal thoughts and conversations belong to
+you - and are only meant to be shared with those you wish to share them with.
+
+ Period.
+
+ Friendika is secure, and as private as you wish it to be. Our privacy
+settings are straight-forward and simple, because we know that relationships
+rarely are (straight-forward and simple). Whether you're communicating with
+drinking buddies or potential employers, you can rest assured that each is
+only able to see the side of you that you wish to present. If you send a
+private message to your aunt Mary, we will encrypt it with military grade
+encryption.
+
+ Friendika delivers. We've got an incredibly rich social communications
+interface you can make use of *right now*.
+
+ And lest you think we're just trying to copy Facebook feature-for-feature,
+you couldn't be further from the truth. We like the conversational style
+because it feels natural, and that's why Facebook grew to be what it is today.
+But we're creating something completely different.
+
+ Something better.
+
+ Start with richer communications. Adorn your text, colour it. We've got a
+text counter in case you're sending across to one of the primitive social
+networks, but we don't think you should have to squeeze your communications
+into some arbitrary limit. Free yourself from thinking how to squeeze your
+message into 140 or 420 characters, or sending messages in some strange
+short-hand code. Even edit your text after you send it. It's OK.
+
+ A single instance of Friendika can easily support hundreds of (and up to
+several thousand) people using commodity hosting hardware. You could even run
+Friendika on an old PC in your closet or garage. Each of these people are able
+to connect with potentially hundreds or thousands of friends and associates
+on any other supported network anywhere in the world and share photos, links,
+status updates, etc.
+
+ But maybe you don't want to be connected to the world... and that's OK
+too. Friendika may be closed off from the global community and used to support
