Hi Jason,
Thanks for the reply. That helps a lot. This looks like a good quick
solution. If we decided to use the persistent storage, how would you
recommend storing multiple activities per friend? I think this solution
would work best if we want to display the most recent activity from each of
the user's friends.

Thanks,
Swapnil.
