|
%%site.name%% is a **microblogging service**. Users post short (140
|
|
|
|
|
character) notices which are broadcast to their friends and fans using
|
|
|
|
|
the Web, RSS, or instant messages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to try it out, first [register](%%action.register%%) a new account.
|
|
|
|
|
Then, on the [public timeline](%%action.public%%), enter your message into
|
|
|
|
|
the textbox at the top of the page, and click "Send". It will go out on the
|
|
|
|
|
public timeline and to anyone who is subscribed to your notices (probably nobody,
|
|
|
|
|
at first).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To subscribe to other people's notifications, go to their profile page
|
|
|
|
|
and click the "subscribe" button. They'll get a notice that you're now
|
|
|
|
|
subscribed to their notifications, and, who knows?, they might subscribe
|
|
|
|
|
back.
