Happy to chat further, but would love to focus the next year on building something others can hook into to get their own channels out there.

Multiple accounts per channel is something we'd like to add. Not possible at the moment. Glad you dig it!

Ok sounds good. Perhaps we need to revisit the tone in that email, it IS intended as a service to you. If something isn't working as expected we wanted to make sure you knew about it. Its on us to make sure to get you more precise information about what is going wrong. Thanks for the feedback!

Sorry to hear your task got turned off. You should have gotten a notice via email about it. We monitor tasks that have trouble running (in this case perhaps the feed was down?) and always make sure to ping the task owners about it when we turn them off.

Happy to help debug in case its a problem on our end! http://ifttt.com/contact

Thanks!

Right now it just covers a single 'if this then that' statement, but expanding from there is definitely a direction we could take. However, we'd like to be really cautious about getting to close to traditional programming as things could quickly become unaccessible to the wider audience. We talk a lot about pushing complexity out to the channels themselves. For instance if "its going to rain tomorrow AND tomorrow is a weekday" might be easier to understand if its encapsulated in a single, complex trigger.

Hi, obviously infinite loops will become an issue we will have to deal with as the service grows. Especially if we start running tasks at a much faster clip and not just every 15 minutes.

Thank you! How are you getting the airline fares? Feeds, I imagine, but from where? Lots of people asking how to do that.

Much appreciated. As programmers ourselves it's the exact feeling we were looking to introduce to a wider audience.

Glad to hear some folks like it. Was going for an interface that had a feeling physicality, something that might not look out of place on a kitchen appliance. Size was an easy way to accomplish that, but at the expense of getting lots of info on the screen.

Hoping for something easier to type and say in a sentence, think gift without the g.

Thanks for the feedback, will work on tightening the UI a bit and getting a bit more on the screen.

Thanks for the feedback, agree that the type may be a tad too big, going for something a little different. Will see what we can do about adding more Weather triggers, just scratching the surface!

Yes, we are really looking forwarding to being able to open it up as a platform. Working as fast as we can :)

ifttt has been up and running, in private beta, for a number of months now. Sorry to hear your company is already blocking us. We hope that ifttt can eventually save you precious web browsing time, not suck it away :)

Was just about to point you there! Another broad category of use that is emerging is around notifications. ex. IF "I am tagged in a photo on FB" THEN "Call my phone". Its all still in the early going, but we've have seen a lot of interesting uses already. Working on a simple way for others to share the more interesting ones now!

Excellent idea on putting the about page front and center, thank you.

Hi, what elderly browser are you using? Will see if I can fix.

My apologies, will get the browser sniffing code fix right away!
