Really nice! Reminds me of Apache Camel components + Content Based Router EIP as a service.

#32Anyone interested in this may care to read the discussion from 3 months ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2604921 To be honest, I still have a hard time figuring out how, where or why I would ever use this. Maybe I'm just too old, too disconnected, or too stupid to understand what it's all about, but in short, I just don't. I'd love a single, simple, concrete example of a relevant problem this solves.

IF t-shirt is less than Instead of signing up for tons of email lists and notification systems you are creating your own. You only get contacted when you WANT to be contacted. Love it.
Except that it doesn't seem to offer that service, it's only about what happens on Twitter or Facebook or some other things I've never heard about.
(old fart here, sorry)

#33Really clean and simple design and implementation. Something everyone should aspire towards. I love how intuitive it was to set-up a recipe and make my services work together and for me. Great job!

#34cool idea. great landing page text/graphics. simple. intuitive. good sign from my perspective whenever something makes me slap my forehead and wish I had done it. :)

I just used it for the first time for my startup, Bellstrike, and loved it. Here's how I used it. For some reason I Twitter wasn't sending me all of my @mention's by email. So, I used IFTT to send me an email everytime someone @mentioned us as well as everytime someone tweeted with the word Bellstrike. We got a fair amount of coverage the first few days and I was able to respond to every tweet about us in real time. It worked way better than Google Analytics ever has.

#36I've been using this for a few months now, and though my usage is probably atypical, here's what I use it for:
- as I abandoned RSS readers a long time ago, new posts on my _very favorite_ (read: top 5) blogs send me a notification email with a link to the post
- new tweets by my _very favorite_ (read: top 3) twitter accounts get SMS'd to me
Pretty limited usage so far I'll admit, but I'm excited to see what new inputs and outputs they come up with in the future.

#37Brilliant. It reminds me of MIT's Scratch language, only for useful stuff instead of moving around cartoon cats.
Specifically: the way the UI swipes things away when you make selections feels very fresh. I might grow to hate it, but I enjoy it today.

#38Using (input channel, output channel, title) to summarize Recipes makes code search a breeze.
Traditionally, code search is done via fulltext indexing of verbose textual function descriptions. ifttt succeeds in using a channel-signature model, not unlike Hoogle's type-signature search, to provide code search without asking authors to write any description at all. Very nice!

#39About ifttt Heh. Also, when did chrome stop antialiasing text? If I somehow checked a box labeled "make text look worse", then someone please enlighten me. http://bbot.org/etc/aliasing.png EDIT: Ha ha, Windows, you card, always with the case-insensitive file systems. Got me again! Link should work now.
Likes fine on Chrome for Linux, maybe it's a Windows setting.

Question: why use ifttt rather than Twitter's SMS support?
