The protocol, based on +[OAuth](http://oauth.net/), is open and free, and doesn't depend on any +central authority to maintain the federated microblogs. + +The [Laconica](http://laconi.ca/) software that runs %%site.name%% supports +OpenMicroBlogging 0.1. Anyone can make a new installation of Laconica on their +own servers, and users of that new installation can subscribe to notices from +%%site.name%%. + +Remote subscription +------------------- + +If you have an account on a remote site that supports OpenMicroBlogging, and you +want to subscribe to the notices of a user on this site, click on the "Subscribe" +link under their avatar on their profile page. 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). |
