OpenMicroBlogging
is a
deprecated
protocol that allows different
microblogging
services to
inter-operate
. It lets the user of one service subscribe to notices by a user of another service. This enables a federation of new communities,
[1]
as potentially an organization of any size can host a service. OpenMicroBlogging utilizes the
OAuth
and
Yadis
protocols and does not depend on any central authority.
OpenMicroBlogging has been superseded
[2]
by an enhanced version of it,
OStatus
.

History

The first implementation of the OpenMicroBlogging protocol is the Laconica software, which changed name to
StatusNet
in August 2009.
[4]
Identi.ca
is the first service to support OpenMicroBlogging,
[5]
and other sizeable services including
Leo Laporte
's Twit Army at
https://web.archive.org/web/20080826063959/http://army.twit.tv/
were amongst those powered by the
open source
StatusNet.
[6]
Since March 2009 one can search users' accounts in Twit Army from within Identi.ca. You could also subscribe to accounts at Twit Army from your Identi.ca account.
The second implementation of the OpenMicroBlogging protocol is the
OpenMicroBlogger
software.
