*sigh*

The description on !gnusocial website doesn't actually say what is what. I think it confuses people by saying "GNU social is a continuation of the StatusNet project". That can be said in a detailed introduction or in the history section. Most importantly GNU social is a microblogging platform, it is a free and open source microblogging platform that can run on your own server, it is part of the federated social web...

..."have your own twitter-like site"..., self host your own social network/your own microblog ... I think something of that sort would help telling newcomers about it better. #
