+The next step (2008Dec9) is to consume GeoRSS feeds and display them on the map.
+The pigeon should do the polling and hold the result data so that it can set off a vibration proximity alarm, etc..
+That means the Radar activity, which has the UI, will have to use the pigeon interface
+to manage the list of RSS URLs.
+<code>
+ New service API methods:
+  addGeoRssUrl(String url)
+  removeGeoRssUrl(String url)
+  array GeoRssUrls()
+  array GeoRssItemsFrom(String url)
+</code>
+I would like a way for the pigeon service to notify the app if its running when new updates arrive, but i dont know how to do that, so the app will poll pigeon with the GeRssItemsFrom(String url). The functionality is necessary even with service-to-app messaging for the case when the app first starts.
