Witness descriptions has actually been around for a while, however we wanted to highlight this feature to show users where they can find more information for voting and to educate witnesses so they could add their description.
Witness Description is a decentralized bit of Data in the witness account (which a witness can easily fill out) to help voters understand what the witness does for Steem, or why someone should consider voting for them.

Because voters have a hard enough time learning who they should vote for, what that witness does and even though big voters are likely more well versed with their options, (partly because they have been around a long time) it's nice to get all users involved with voting and this description can help voters in making decisions.
While any witness list CAN show these descriptions easily... to my knowledge https://steempeak.com/ may be the only interface presently showing it.

If you're on https://steempeak.com/ you can easily click this image to view it larger
Any interface is technically able to easily impliment this system, it's just a matter of editing metadata on a profile...
However to our knowledge only SteemPeak has an easy interface to add the text.
Also invite you to give witnesses an option for editing their description.
Many of them may just not have known that it's been around for a bit:
All the voters who don't have a lot of information to go off of really appreciate at least having these descriptions to start off their research.
So thanks to the witnesses that have put in their information
We want to thank everyone for voting for
