-Declare job classes that can be run by a variety of queueing backends.
+Active Job is a framework for declaring jobs and making them run on a variety of
+queuing backends. These jobs can be everything from regularly scheduled
+clean-ups, to billing charges, to mailings. Anything that can be chopped up into
+small units of work and run in parallel, really.
 
+It also serves as the backend for Action Mailer's #deliver_later functionality
+that makes it easy to turn any mailing into a job for running later. That's one
+of the most common jobs in a modern web application: sending emails outside of
+the request-response cycle, so the user doesn't have to wait on it.
+
+The main point is to ensure that all Rails apps will have a job infrastructure
+in place, even if it's in the form of an "immediate runner". We can then have
+framework features and other gems build on top of that, without having to worry
+about API differences between Delayed Job and Resque. Picking your queuing
+backend becomes more of an operational concern, then. And you'll be able to
+switch between them without having to rewrite your jobs.
