IFTTT

So what's new this week in my social media world? Well now that most of the people around me know that I'm trying to be a social media guru, they always come up to me with new cool things they find that could interest me. This week, I was approached with this website called IFTTT, that stands for IF This Then That. What if you could get a text message every time this cute guy you like posts a photo on Facebook? (creeeeepy I know) Well now you can thanks to this site that comes from the principle that you can pretty much link every single social channel to each other by creating your own customized "channel linkage". They call it "the IFTTT recipe" when the This is the trigger and the That is the action. It is a quick 7-step process that differ depending on the channels you pick.
For example, let's say you're looking to buy an Iphone 4S, you can create this recipe: IF This: every Iphone 4S under 200$ on Craigslist Athens Then That: create a status on my Facebook with URL.
 

 For someone like me who always opens a million different tabs on my browser, this idea is quite brilliant!
Not only this site is easy to use, it also has a very simple and cool graphics, making the experience very engaging and interactive for the users. Though according to the founder this tool is kinda "nerdy" it is really about the simplicity of use and making your social media life a lot easier! 

PS: it's pronounced like GIFT without the G! :)
