-%%site.name%% is a [micro-blogging](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro-blogging) service.
-You can use it to write short notices about yourself, where you are,
-and what you're doing, and those notices will be sent to all your friends
-and fans.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-%%site.name%% is an [Open Network Service](http://opendefinition.org/ossd). Our main
-goal is to provide a fair and transparent service that preserves users' autonomy. In
-particular, all the software used for %%site.name%% is [Free Software](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Software), and all the data is available
-under the [%%license.title%%](%%license.url%%) license, making it Open Data.
-
-The software also implements the [OpenMicroBlogging](http://openmicroblogging.org/) protocol, meaning that you can have friends on other microblogging services
-that can receive your notices.
-
-The goal here is *autonomy* -- you deserve the right to manage your own on-line
-presence. If you don't like how %%site.name%% works, you can take your data and the source code and set up your own server (or move your account to another one).

-and many features people expect from microblogging sites are not yet implemented. Some important ones that are expected "soon":
