-[OpenMicroBlogging](http://openmicroblogging.org/) is a protocol that
-lets users of one [microblogging](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/microblogging) service
-subscribe to notices by users of another service. 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 [StatusNet](http://status.net/) software that runs %%site.name%% supports
-OpenMicroBlogging 0.1. Anyone can make a new installation of StatusNet 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).
