Small Biz Resource Tip: ifttt

November 1st, 2011 ::

ifttt

Small business owners waste a lot of time repeating tasks over and over. Coming to the rescue, “If this, then that,” is a new Web app that enables the user to multitask by performing a task just once. The premise relies on the theory that you shouldn’t have to repeat the same task across multiple platforms. ifttt users can program tasks to act automatically based on another action across 23 channels, ranging from Facebook and Twitter to many more. An example could be, IF you’re tagged in a photo on Facebook, THEN send yourself a text message and tweet it. You create the triggers, and tasks can be turned on and off whenever you need to.

    I spend most of my time (it seems) doing the same tasks over and over or preparing to do the same tasks over and over.  I would be very interested in reading more about this.  I’ll Google it now but hope you’ll do a follow-up about this application.  Have a great day!
