-* Abstract: Present the feedservice ecosystem and how it will enable efficient authoring of home screen widgets for social networks feeds and other information sources that exist in the internet. The framework provides an abstraction layer for the plugins and utility services for the most common functionality. From the device point of view it will provide a single point of control for the feeds, it will determine, with the help from a plugin, when a feed should be run. The feedservice will also monitor the device states, such as network connection and screen activity. This enables the feedservice to optimize the user experience in terms of up-to-date feeds and power managemet.
