I wrote about the service called IFTTT (If This Then That) last July. With the gradual but dramatic expansion of its capabilities it is beginning to get some wider traction. L.M. Orchard has set up a veritable maze of connections between his various services, ensuring that content published one place appears throughout his network. What's important, he writes, is that "I am at the center of these connections. I don't live entirely on any single service, and anything I care about is archived where I can easily grab it for backups or mashups. Should any particular service node in this web fail, I can probably do without, find an alternative, or build one myself." And eventually, the goal is to self-host this maze of connections, "to eventually replace as many of these nodes as possible with self-hosted or at least Open Source derived services."
