I have been fiddling about with some great new API sites recently, and have fallen instantly in love with IFTTT (If This Then That).

Basically you can easily create statements that bridge data between and trigger actions as a response to your own custom selected triggers between web apps and services, even ones that control home electronics and phone calls (the latter only being available in the US). Pretty Amazing stuff and it's like being a kid with a science or electronics kit all over again except without the Cubs and Scouts Achievement badges!

You can even use it as an app on an iOS or Android device, even utilise iOS, iCloud, and Android Apps and Services, and the list is still growing!

Sadly there's no option for using JSON or and programming languages directly, but of course if you fancy making or have your own API based Mobile App, Online Service, or Web App, IFTTT are welcoming new "Channels" all the time to extend the possibilities!


Here's a little something I brewed up, among other things as yet unpublished:
