 Usage
 -----
 
-We'll certainly need some stuff in here.
+There are two ways of using the [PSR-7](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7) standard. You can write your own implementation or consume a library/package that implements the standard.
+
+* [Writing your own implementation](#implementation)
+* [Consuming the interfaces through a vendor](#consuming-through-vendor)
+
+<a name="implementation"></a>
+## Writing your own implementation
+Implementations should implement all functionality in each interface. Please check [here](https://packagist.org/providers/psr/http-message-implementation) for vendors who have already done this.
+
+<a name="consuming-through-vendor"></a>
+## Consuming the interfaces through a vendor
+Imagine you need a way to send HTTP requests from your application. Instead of reinventing the wheel, you would then pull in a [vendor](https://packagist.org/providers/psr/http-message-implementation) that has done the legwork for you (perhaps through composer) and use that.
+
+As an example, the [Guzzle](https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle) library already supports [PSR-7](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7). It is then possible to send a request and get back a response.
+To decouple your code from guzzle, you can create your own client interface
+and have that type hinted in your services. Your services know to send a RequestInterface to the client and that they get back a ResponseInterface object.
+
+You have an application with an api that allows you to fetch posts. You create a RequestInterface implementation object (like Guzzle's Request object) and send it to the client. The client then responds with an implementation of a ResponseInterface object (like Guzzle's Response object).
+
+```php
+<?php
+namespace YourApp\Controller;
+
+use Psr7\Http\Message\RequestInterface;
+use Psr7\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;
+use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Client;
+use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request;

+    public function all()

+        // $request is now an instance of RequestInterface
+        $request = $this->client->request('GET', 'https://api.app.com/posts');
+
+        // $response is now an instance of ResponseInterface
