WTF is IFTTT?

Remember the old If/then formulas in Excel?

You know, if cell A3 = a certain condition, then do this calculation in cell F6. Well, IFTTT brings this logic to the internet and our modern physical existence, allowing you to do all sorts of things automatically. What you can do is really only limited by your imagination and that’s pretty cool.

Get an alert on your cell phone every time the International Space Station flys over your house. Track your time spent at specific locations on your calendar. Adjust your thermostat based on outdoor temperatures. Automatically turn your lights off, when you leave your house and more.
