This should take you to the +[remote subscription](%%action.remotesubscribe%%) page. Make sure that you've got the +right nickname registered, and enter your profile URL on the other microblogging +service. + +You'll be taken to your microblogging service, where you'll be asked to confirm the +subscription. When you confirm, your service will receive new notifications from +the user on %%site.name%%, and your service will forward them to you (using IM, SMS, +the Web, or whatever else). -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
