								%%site.name%% is a **microblogging service**. Users post short (140
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								character) notices which are broadcast to their friends and fans using
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the Web, RSS, or instant messages.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								If you'd like to try it out, first [register](%%action.register%%) a new account.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Then, on the [public timeline](%%action.public%%), enter your message into
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the textbox at the top of the page, and click "Send". It will go out on the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								public timeline and to anyone who is subscribed to your notices (probably nobody,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								at first).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								To subscribe to other people's notifications, go to their profile page
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								and click the "subscribe" button. They'll get a notice that you're now
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								subscribed to their notifications, and, who knows?, they might subscribe
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								back.
