If This Then That is Awesome

This is my favorite find for the past week. If This Then That (ifttt.com) lets you create automated tasks simply. 

For example. If I upload an Instagram photo, then also save it to a folder in my Dropbox account. I like taking pictures of food, so I have a task set up to send all my Instagram photos tagged with #food to my 'Food Pictures' notebook in Evernote. Saves me the hassle of remembering to do it myself. Upload a new Flickr photo? Have it automatically sent to your Posterous blog. Want to know when tomorrow's forecast calls for rain? IFTTT.com can send you an email or a text message to remind you to dig out your galoshes. (Of course, here in Portland, I just have it tell me if it's supposed to be sunny tomorrow--otherwise I'd be  getting an email almost every day.

Definitely worth checking out if you find yourself doing repetitive tasks online.
