'''OpenMicroBlogging''' is a [[Deprecation|deprecated]] communication protocol that allows different [[microblogging]] services to [[Interoperability|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 (information technology)|federation]] of new communities,<ref name="jstay080812microcomms">Stay, Jesse (2008-8-12) [http://www.louisgray.com/live/2008/08/identica-and-power-of-microbranded.html Identi.ca and the Power of Microbranded Communities]. Retrieved 2009-1-4.</ref> 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OpenMicroBlogging has been superseded<ref>{{cite web|last=Prodromou|first=Evan|title=Understanding OStatus|url=http://status.net/2010/03/07/understanding-ostatus|publisher=Status.Net|access-date=30 May 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720190236/http://status.net/2010/03/07/understanding-ostatus|archive-date=20 July 2011}}</ref> by an enhanced version of it, [[OStatus]].<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20100526080649/http://ostatus.org/ OStatus]}}</ref>

==History==

The original implementation of the OpenMicroBlogging protocol is the Laconica software, which changed its name to [[StatusNet]] in August 2009.<ref>[http://status.net/2009/08/28/laconica-is-now-statusnet/ Laconica is now StatusNet] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090831073527/http://status.net/2009/08/28/laconica-is-now-statusnet/ |date=2009-08-31 }}</ref> [[Identi.ca]] is the first service to support OpenMicroBlogging,<ref name="RRW080702identica">Mayfield, Ross (2008-7-2) [http://ross.typepad.com/blog/2008/07/identica-launch.html Identica launches, an open source Twitter]. Retrieved 2009-1-5.</ref> and other sizeable services including [[Leo Laporte]]'s [https://web.archive.org/web/20080826063959/http://army.twit.tv/ Twit Army] were amongst those powered by the [[Open-source software|open source software]].<ref>Malcolm Bastien, [http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/03/theres-twitter.html There's Twitter the company, and twitter the medium].

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.
