• Asynchronous calls don’t return right away, but you often need to process the result.
• Asynchronous calls are made using an object that can be called from multiple places in the application. (Imagine that our app reuses one instance of HTTPService for all remote calls.)
• A method needs to perform multiple asynchronous calls before returning. Let’s make the use case a bit more complicated: we now use our AtomPublishingProtocol implementation to return the first feed listed in the service document.

• One or more methods in an asynchronous method chain need access to data generated somewhere else in the chain. For example, imagine that our getFirstFeed method needs to return the first feed in an Atom service document and the Atom service document.
