Have You ifttt Yet?

I heard about this web tool awhile ago but really did not do anything with it until this spring break.  ifttt is short for "If this, then that."  Click HERE for direct access to the website.  The concept is very simple.  In fact, the slogan on the main page of ifttt is "Put the internet to work for you!"  Basically, there are about 2 dozen 'channels' or accounts that you can choose from to connect to one another.  Such channels are Twitter, Blogger, Gmail, Evernote, Dropbox, Linkin, Google Reader, etc.  There are thousands of 'recipes' that you choose from to connect accounts together.  For instance, lets say anytime you have favorited a tweet from your Twitter account, you can have ifttt send that favorited tweet directly to your Evernote account for you to access at another time. (If I favorite a tweet, then send to Evernote). Another example would be, If I add a blog post to my blogger account, then tweet it out from my Twitter account automatically. Another one could be, if it will rain tomorrow, then send me an email. The possibilities are endless.  This application most definitely can do all of the work for you to make your life easier.  I HIGHLY recommend you check out this tool if you have not done so already. It really is awesome.
