ifttt is pretty much my favourite service at the moment. It saves me hours a day and everyone should use it!

edit: Well, let's say it saves me hour per day. Hours plural is probably stretching it

Can I ask how it is saving you hours per day... I like the idea, I just can't think of cool ways to use it.

For example, I do a little video blog where I film a 1 minute video about my startup progress most days[1]

I make the video on socialcam, which sends it to youtube. ifttt then picks up the youtube video once it's uploaded and turns it into a wordpress post, then picks up the wordpress post and tweets about it. It turns a 5-step process (full of annoying upload delays) into a 1-step process with no delays.

I haven't found any consumption use cases for it, but I love it for tying together all the places I create stuff at.
