+What is this site?
 ----------------------
 
-%%site.name%% is a stream oriented social network service.

-and what you're doing, and those notices will be sent to all your friends
-and fans.
+You can use it to make connections between friends, family and
+colleagues -- writing short notices about yourself, where you are, and

-You can also post event invitations, bookmarks, polls, and questions or
-other kinds of social broadcasts.
+In the future, we'll be adding support for photo, video and file

-How is %%site.name%% different from Twitter?
---------------------------------------------
-
-Like [Twitter](http://twitter.com/), %%site.name%% is a light service
-with a stream-oriented interface. It uses @-replies, hashtags,
-provides search, and has private messages. It provides an API, and can
-be integrated with SMS systems. You can create lists.
-
-Unlike Twitter, %%site.name%% allows more data than just plain text
-and links to travel across the network. You can install the StatusNet
-software that runs %%site.name%% on your own servers, since it's Free
-and Open Source software. You can make groups, and share privately
-with those groups.
-
-You can make your site available only to people you choose. You can
-customize it with your own themes and plugins, or download plugins
-from the StatusNet site.
-
-How is %%site.name%% different from Yammer, SocialCast, or Salesforce Chatter?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Like some enterprise social software services, StatusNet lets you
-share privately with other people in your company. You can use
-microapps to post richer kinds of data, use public and private groups
-to share with team members, use extended profiles to show more about
-yourself and your company, and review groups and users in a directory.
-
-Unlike those other services, StatusNet is free and open source
-software. You can install it on your own servers. You can customize
-the theme and add plugins.
