Considering how i read HN and thus how i’m reading this — and that i don’t have a twitter account — i guess i have to agree!
RSS is very, very nice. Especially for keeping track of all the journals I have to keep an eye on.

The other halfs are webhooks.
I also want to get notified right away for articles that use a specific keyword, so I have other applets that will send an IFTTT rich notification to my phone with the link to the article.
Or you know, I have some other RSS feed I use with a torrent client to automatically fetch "stuff", and once the download is completed, I configured the torrent client to send an HTTP POST request with the torrent title to IFTTT, which in turn send me a push notification to let me know a download was completed.
