I don't understand why people take such a cynical attitude towards new things.
If you bothered to think or look around a bit, you would notice that some people are already using ifttt for things, which a lot of people might find useful, such as tracking jobs, apartments and flights. (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2970550 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2970550).
If you have no use for something, why blog about it with an undertone implying it has no use for anyone?
Maybe it's not your intention, but this just comes across as taking the mickey out of people's creations just for the heck of it. Just because you've got a blog.
Sometimes, it's best not to say anything. Enjoy the silence while it lasts.

- revorad 15y agoChris, I did read it. But then I don't see why you posted it to HN.
- CMartucci 15y agoI suppose you'd be in the minority if you found relevance in my specific concerns, or if you found it pertinent to your situation. But I didn't think that should forbid me from posting it. I can understand why it seems pointless, and I suppose HN was not the best venue.
