Pulling it all together

Mostly for [livejournal.com profile] jducoeur...

Ifttt: If This Then That, a service that provides triggered actions on social media sites. Things like, "If I am tagged in a photo on Facebook, then save a copy of that image to my DropBox". It looks to have simply taken the APIs of any number of services, and gives you a bridge for actions between them.

For examples of what the system does, you can look at their "Recipes" page.

Not that I'm a big user of social media, but I can see how interesting this could be to some.

I think you're correct. I was just hoping for something a bit more powerful, since most of my use cases of interest are community-oriented. (Read: I'm looking for ways to help tame Carolingia's current communications morass.) We'll see whether ifttt decides that this is an interesting market to pursue...
