Last night, I was experimenting with IFTTT to see if it would automatically announce my blog posts on Twitter and LinkedIn.  Last night, it worked on LinkedIn, but not Twitter.  Apparently there was a problem with authentication to my Twitter account. That fixed, it seemed to work just fine this morning … albeit not very quickly.

I am testing a new recipe on IFTTT.com.  If an announcement of this post automatically appears on Twitter, it works.

 

If it works, it will save me a few keystrokes each time I blog, but perhaps more importantly, will demonstrate a simple form of cloud based programming.
