IFTTT

Have you heard about this new program IFTTT? It means if this then that. Sort of sounds like one of those word problems from middle school that I never seemed to really understand. I attribute that to my creative way of thinking of situations.

IFTTT is a great way to automate digital tasks. In order to do this you create a "recipe".

Perhaps none of this makes sense to you yet. Start by thinking of all the time you spend on just one blog post. You write it, then you post it to twitter, then you post it to Facebook, and on and on. By doing this with IFTTT, then you can set it up so that every time you post a blog post it will then feed it to your social media outlets.

They have a "recipes" already created, but here are some ideas:
Everytime your tagged in Facebook save the picture to Drop Box
When you make a Blog Post post on Social Media Outlet
When you star a Google Reader item, save to Evernote.
