WTF UPS?

I recently purchased a new monitor, having it shipped to me via UPS. I don't do a lot of UPS business, on either end of the equation, so perhaps I'm a bit behind the curve on this issue. To keep tabs on the deliver, I investigated using my tracking number and RSS with NewsGator.

Guess what? UPS, king of the cutting edge doesn't do RSS. My only choices are continually visiting an updated web page or e-mail. E-mail?

Jason Young (ytechie.com) has a SimpleTracking web service that has great RSS feed wrappers for many major US delivery services, UPS noticeably excluded. UPS is cockblocking him all the way on exposing this data for any service to build great things.

Jason has a petition on this issue for UPS to consider. I encourage my massive single-digit readership to affix their name to the petition; takes 10 seconds.

You just don't have to spend much time explaining completely weird changes.
