 **What are Hubz?**
 
-Hubz are independant webservers which can seamlessly connect together to share stuff. 
+Hubz are general-purpose websites built using our revolutionary platform. Every website member can create their own unique website or social space to suit their needs and personality, and these can all interact.
 
-Each hub can be operated standalone (like a blog) or as a webserver community (like a forum or social network). Hubz can be large or small. They can also operate isolated or as connected hubz. When connected they form a super-network of hubz where any member can easily share and interact with any other member or members of any connected hubz. 
+But we don't stop there. Hubz all over the internet "magically" connect together into very large (or "internet-scale") social networks, websites, and communities; and *these* can all interact. 
 
-When connected with other hubz, access permissions of anything published on an individual hub extends to the rest of the network, so that a member of *my* hub can easily and privately share something with a member of *your* hub. They do not require an account or password on my hub to do this. It just works. 
+It just works. 
 
-**Hubmaker** is the software which creates and manages hubz. It is open source and built on PHP/MySQL/Apache (Mariadb or Postgres and Nginx could also be used, we're pretty easy).  
+When connected with other Hubz, permission to access the things you publish can extend to anybody in the Hubzilla network. So *my* Hubz can easily and securely share private stuff with *your* Hubz. Photos, spreadhseets, web pages, anything - anybody. This does not require another account or a password to access the private stuff.
