I know some of my nerdier friends may know about this already, but many of you don't. IFTTT - which stands for "if this then that" takes things you use online and even in real life and connecting them. I use it to publish my blog to Facebook, for example, but you can do a ton of other things - update your status when the Packers score, or text you when your plants need watering, or tell your house to turn the thermostat down if the weather goes over a certain temperature, text you when a family member gets where they're going- or a million other things. The power of the thing is amazing.
Right now it's still missing a couple of obvious channels - G+ and Pinterest being the most obvious - and I really hope that at some point you can automatically put Facebook events on your Google calendar, but still, check it out, it's pretty cool. Have a good IFTTT recipe? Tell me in the comments!
