Comments on IFTTT
“I use IFTTT to auto-forward links I ‘save for later’ to Pocket, as well as a browser plug-in to store links I might find using email or Twitter or LinkedIn. For those who are curious to see what’s at the wide end of my funnel, I’ve used IFTTT to auto-post Pocket posts to a Tumblr blog.” Stephen Downes, Canada, 2020
