I am officially hooked on ifttt. Thanks, Techcrunch.

Don’t get overwhelmed when you visit the site. It’s actually really easy. Trust me. If I can do it, you can do it.

What is ifttt? It essentially puts the internet to work for you by creating tasks that fit this simple structure: if this then that. You either create your own “recipe” or use one another user created. A recipe might be “if I post a video to YouTube then a link to the video should go to a Dropbox folder.” Yes, ifttt helps you do all this and more. Automated simplicity.

• Sign up for ifttt beta;
• Click the confirmation link sent to you via email; and
• Begin the insanity (see below).
