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,cite-ref-jstay080812microcomms-1-0[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 supersededcite-ref-2[2] by an enhanced version of it, OStatus.cite-ref-3[3]

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.
