package tracking

[mdodoo]

Create "personal" RSS feeds to track packages by interfacing with package companies' XML APIs. Feature already exists in Bloglines. See http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=1216

US Postal Service: http://www.usps.com/webtools/

UPS: While we could use UPS Online Tools, the UPS website suggests that ISVs like Gregarius join their UPS Ready Program.

FedEx: http://www.fedex.com/us/solutions/wis/index.html/ It would be necessary to submit a letter of intent to FedEx before using the API.

Sounds like a good idea! Should be doable via a plugin.

This is probably more likely to be a feature included in v1.0, in my view.
