 Package feeds defines Swarm Feeds.
 
-A Mutable Resource is an entity which allows updates to a resource
+Swarm Feeds allows a user to build an update feed about a particular topic
 without resorting to ENS on each update.
 The update scheme is built on swarm chunks with chunk keys following
 a predictable, versionable pattern.

+A Feed is tied to a unique identifier that is deterministically generated out of
 the chosen topic.
 
-A Resource View is defined as a specific user's point of view about a particular resource.
-Thus, a View is a Topic + the user's address (userAddr)
+A Feed is defined as the series of updates of a specific user about a particular topic
 
 Actual data updates are also made in the form of swarm chunks. The keys
 of the updates are the hash of a concatenation of properties as follows:
 
-updateAddr = H(View, Epoch ID)
+updateAddr = H(Feed, Epoch ID)
 where H is the SHA3 hash function
-View is the combination of Topic and the user address
+Feed is the combination of Topic and the user address
 Epoch ID is a time slot. See the lookup package for more information.
 
-A user looking up a resource would only need to know the View in order to
-another user's updates
+A user looking up a the latest update in a Feed only needs to know the Topic
+and the other user's address.
 
-The resource update data is:
-resourcedata = View|Epoch|data
+The Feed Update data is:
+updatedata = Feed|Epoch|data
 
-the full update data that goes in the chunk payload is:
+The full update data that goes in the chunk payload is:
