How do I add a post to a feed related to a contact or account using REST API

I want to add posts to the contact feed for a particular contact that I select using REST.

What do I need to use?

I see the following when do I go a get on ContactFeed:

"urls" : {
      "sobject" : "/services/data/v20.0/sobjects/ContactFeed",
      "describe" : "/services/data/v20.0/sobjects/ContactFeed/describe",
      "rowTemplate" : "/services/data/v20.0/sobjects/ContactFeed/{ID}"

Retreiving details for the contact does not give me an ID for the ContactFeed that I could use here. How do I see the already existing posts on the contact feed and more importantly, how to I add a post to the contact feed?

Any help or pointers will be appreciated.

To add,

/services/data/v28.0/sobjects/Contact/quickActions gives me some options like below:

{
  "label" : "Post",
  "name" : "FeedItem.TextPost",
  "type" : "Post",
  "urls" : { }
}, {
  "label" : "File",
  "name" : "FeedItem.ContentPost",
  "type" : "Post",
  "urls" : { }
}, {
  "label" : "Link",
  "name" : "FeedItem.LinkPost",
  "type" : "Post",
  "urls" : { }
}, {
  "label" : "Poll",
  "name" : "FeedItem.PollPost",
  "type" : "Post",
  "urls" : { }
}, {
  "label" : "Question",
  "name" : "FeedItem.QuestionPost",
  "type" : "Post",
  "urls" : { }
}

I think the answer lies somewhere here - Not very clear on how to use this though. I am trying this out using curl.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
