Currently what I do is I share my key with a process, it logs in as me and
posts.  But I think a better solution is to give it its own identity and
have some kind of access control permissions to let it make updates.

On systems like facebook people are often imitated by robots, so I think in
practical terms it's going to be a grey area.

But seems to me the "correct" way is to use Agent.  That distinction might
soften into unimportant over time, tho, maybe ...
