OpenMicroBlogging is a deprecated communication protocol that allows different microblogging services to interoperate with each other. It lets the user of one service subscribe to statuses from a user of another service. This enables the creation of a federation of new communities,[1] as an individual or organization of any size can host a service that supports the protocol. 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OpenMicroBlogging has been superseded[2] by an enhanced version of it, OStatus.[3]
History
The original implementation of the OpenMicroBlogging protocol is the Laconica software, which changed its 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 were amongst those powered by the open source software.[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.
A third-party implementation of the OpenMicroBlogging protocol is the OpenMicroBlogger software.
