 Tiny Tiny RSS
 =============
 
-Server-side RSS feed aggregator written in PHP and heavily based
-on XmlHttpRequest and related technologies for user interface and
-operation.
+Web-based news feed aggregator, designed to allow you to read news from 
+any location, while feeling as close to a real desktop application as possible.
 
-Licensed under GPL version 2.
+http://tt-rss.org
 
-Warning: I don't know how to stress it enough - please do not install
-this program wide open to the whole internet. It belongs to (host or password)
-protected directory on your webserver. There could be SQL-injection or other
-remote vulnerabilities, so beware.
+Licensed under GNU GPL version 2
 
-Also, TT-rss at present is not multi-user. It is designed for one person to
-read news consistently from different locations, one location at a time. Otherwise,
-last-read information will get messed up and other bad stuff could happen.
