=head1 ABSTRACT

The purpose of OpenMicroBlogging is 

"To allow users of one microblogging service to publish notices to users of another service, given the other users' permission."

Please refer to the OpenMicroBlogging spec: L<http://openmicroblogging.org/>

OpenMicroBlogging is based on OAuth - familiarity with OAuth is highly recommended before diving into OpenMicroBlogging

Net::OpenMicroBlogging is a thin wrapper around L<Net::OAuth> - basically it augments Net::OAuth
message classes with additional OMB parameters, and defines a couple message types unique to
OMB.  Please refer to the L<Net::OAuth> documentation for the details of how to create, manipulate,
sign and verify messages.
