I just signed up and starting exploring Ifttt, and WOW. This is EXTREMELY useful and practical (at least for me). My kind of site/app.

A few uses off the top of my head:

- When searching for a new apartment or house and using Craigslist as one of your sources, use Ifttt to get a text/email when a new, relevant Craigslist post appears matching your search criteria

- Automatically add a new Wordpress blog post to Buffer when published

I was going to make fun of the name but then decided to try it and same exact reaction. It's so damn awesome and easy to use. I think this is something I'd even consider paying for. Nice work Ifttt team!
If they continue expanding the channels, triggers, and actions available, I'd probably come up with more business uses and would pay for it.

(Off the top of my head, some MailChimp and Eventbrite integration would be nice.)

Or advertising... (Hi, Tim!)
