What is IFTTT?

IFTTT is a service that lets you create powerful connections with one
simple statement:

If this, then that. We call 'this' the Trigger, and 'that' the Action.
Together, it is a Recipe.

Triggers

The this part of a Recipe is a Trigger. Some example Triggers are “I’m
tagged in a photo on Facebook” or “I check in on Foursquare.”
Actions

The that part of a Recipe is an Action. Some example Actions are “send
me a text message” or “create a status message on Facebook.”
Ingredients

Pieces of data from a Trigger are called Ingredients. For example, the
Ingredients of an Email Trigger could be: subject, body, attachment,
received date, and the sender’s address.
Recipes
Personal Recipes are a combination of a Trigger and an Action from your
active Channels.

*** This looks like Procmail ported the a proprietary web service to
support other proprietary web services. Not really our kind of games.
Please abstain from posting about non-free software or services. There
are lots of them, and we simply could not handle that load.

If you encounter one with an interesting feature, you're welcome to
analyze that feature and report as to how it would be useful for
people using free software, and how it could integrate the social
toolbox of the GNU Internet.

Thank you for your attention,

thanks, on review

If you encounter one with an interesting feature,

i'm with another mate these days, doing a semantic mediawiki for a
regional where, apart of managing other things, we aggregate calendar
events. we are aggregating calendars from facebook via adding the feeds
first to a wordpress and then from wordpress to the semantic mw. for
this case and for others we use this wordpress in the middle. we have
achieved the mapping with osm/openlayers of the events too (semantic
maps which can be easily exported too), and the display of
days/months/year in a header row.

we are now looking at how to allow subscriptions to your mail from
'next events on your town in the x category'.
investigating phplist, but any ideas would be nice.

all this is maybe offtopic here, specially such links as the above one,
but i'm a bit lost about services of this kind for wordpress-semantic
mediawiki-drupal-lorea-phplist-etc notifs and follow ups or specific
data standards we should be looking at implementing these applications
for easing the job (i.e. georss at the semantic maps mw pluggin, etc).


me just trying drawing nice aggregaction ways. sorry for writing about
fb or etc here, we have very much in mind trying not aggregating such
things in the near future.

any more thoughts to list or to my mail welcome, we are hot on this one
this week.


ps. let me ask btw for alternatives to hotsuite. post to many different
free social networks from an app.

sorry again about the posible messing up here, it usually happens when
pre-developing and lamming :)
i'll pass you the final how-to doc we will achieve.
