+    (description
+     "@command{twtxt} is a decentralised, minimalist microblogging service for
+hackers.
+
+So you want to get some thoughts out on the internet in a convenient and slick
+way while also following the gibberish of others? Instead of signing up at a
+closed and/or regulated microblogging platform, getting your status updates
+out with twtxt is as easy as putting them in a publicly accessible text file.
+The URL pointing to this file is your identity, your account.  @code{twtxt}
+then tracks these text files, like a feedreader, and builds your unique
+timeline out of them, depending on which files you track.  The format is
+simple, human readable, and integrates well with UNIX command line
+utilities.")
