I just copied mikutter's tag line "simple, powerful and moeful".
I think "simple, powerful" says its extensibility by plugins.
So, I describe:
Mikutter is a plugin-extensible twitter client.
"moe" (cute, anime, and so on) factor can be omitted in description.

"Followee" is social networking related slang or new word?
Officially, Twitter says "following (friends) list" and "followers list".

There are two separate lists.
This bulletpoint list is provided at official website formerly,
but it disappers at present. I just copied like its tag line.

"Reply view", "Thread view", "Search view" and "List view" are kind of
tweets viewing window. But, "Profile view" and "Activity view" are thiers
specific information viewing window.

Thank you for your work. I replaced some parts:
Description: plugin-extensible Twitter client
Mikutter is a multi-pane Twitter client with several advanced
features:
* different tweet views (flat list, threaded list, searches);
* user profile and activity views;
* lists of followers and followings (friends);
* plugin extensibility.

"Hatsune Miku"-like logo and icon are replaced for DFSG-free.
I contacted upstream author, then I got DFSG-free logo and icon.
