Do you use Internet glue? Do you know what it is? Basically its a web service that links two web services together; hence the name Internet glue. For example, actions you take in your webmail system could to update your ToDo list, or add a calendar reminder. Back in January I blogged about how I use IFTTT (if this then that) to create and disseminate these blog posts. Increasingly though these systems are starting to integrate with our smartphones. IFTTT can use the iPhones location to trigger actions and can integrate with iOS reminders, contacts and the camera roll. IFTTT has now launched on Android with a deeper set of integrations with the OS than their iOS offering. This is possible because Android has a "more laissez-faire attitude when it comes to allowing apps to extend their tentacles into core OS functions." If you havent started using IFTTT I highly recommend you do. Not only can it smooth your workflow but it can also be fun.
