When the temperature in Laval hits 10, my instant messenger pops up and says "go for a bike ride". On the 17th Videotron resets my account to zero, I get a call at 6 P.M.; same for the cell phone.
Would you tell it to call a friend to wish her happy birthday? No way, but I might tell it to call me and set up the call.
It's all very powerful and full of possibilities. Finally a simple way to connect the real world to the computing world in one place. Tasks are not only created, they get done automatically. Steve.
If This Then That decided to make it possible for everyday events to trigger a customized action. The concept is as simple as the name: if “this” (a tweet, blog post, or weather event) happens, “that” (a phone call, a text, or post to your Facebook wall) happens automatically.This service is still in closed beta; and available by invitation only; I have a few left. More automation is a good thing right? It could be a winner.
