 These are some *Frequently Asked Questions* about this service, with
 some answers.
 
-What is %%site.name%%?
+What is this site?
 ----------------------
 
-%%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.
-
-How is %%site.name%% different from Twitter, Jaiku, Pownce, Plurk, others?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-%%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).
-
-Where is feature X?
--------------------
-
-The software we run, [Laconica](http://laconi.ca/), is still in its early stages,
-and many features people expect from microblogging sites are not yet implemented. Some important ones that are expected "soon":
+This is a social network, running the GNU social software.
 
-* More [AJAX](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX)-y interface
-* Maps
-* Cross-post to Pownce, Jaiku, etc.
-* Pull messages from Twitter, Pownce, Jaiku, etc.
-* [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/) integration
-* Image, video, audio notices
+You can use it to make connections between friends, family and
+colleagues -- writing short notices about yourself, where you are, and
+what you're doing, and those notices will be sent to all your contacts.
 
-There is [a list of bugs and features](http://laconi.ca/trac/) that you may find
-interesting. New ideas or complaints are very welcome.
+In the future, we'll be adding support for photo, video and file
+sharing, as well as events, better contact management and mobile
+devices.
