Referring to IFTTT, many people may not be very clear about it, in fact, the so-called IFTTT is If this Then the meaning of that, it allows the user through a simple logical choice to achieve complex social information triggering and chain, help us to simplify.
IFTTT is If this Then meaning of that it allows users to implement complex social information triggers and chains through simple logic choices, and users do not need to have any programming basis to trigger other actions on other social platforms by specifying a state in a third party social service platform. At the same time, this trigger combination allows to be continuously superimposed in order to achieve some kind of chain of information dissemination effect. In short, IFTTT is a lightweight way to push information to you in a conventional format, and you can decide how to read and process the information, for example, you can set IFTTT: (IF) when someone letters you on Twitter (this), (then) Triggers SMS SMS function (that); So, the DM SMS will be the first time to send to your phone!
IFTTT with a few years ago, Yahoo launched the pipeline services--yahoo pipes almost achieved a similar effect, the reason for a small handful of geek users excited, in fact, it is not difficult to find the secret: human for the Diy/mushup and information is always full of an innate very strong desire to manipulate in it! I decided to use the word "sexy" to describe IFTTT, because it was so cool, though it was very hard to represent the future, even if there was no future at all, But this kind of technology and product innovation has to let me admire.
