I like the idea of IFTTT in combining and connecting the functionalities of our daily applications to create new features. It is a powerful tool to fill the gap between different technologies to benefit our desire in having a barrier free experience in digital media. However, after creating a few receipe, there is an overwhelming feeling by all the automated activities bombarding me throughout the day. Maybe it is novel or convenient to have the applets to do those jobs for you, but over time I feel it is not that necessary and rather turn them off.
