Inventing Internet Spaghetti
If this works, I will high five myself to celebrate my own stupidity. I have wired Wordpress, Tumblr, Blogger, Instagram, Flickr, and Twitter together with “If This Then That”, such that whenever I post anything to Wordpress, it gets cross-posted all over the place instamagically for me.
It's a shame IFTTT doesn't support Ello, or LiveJournal – then I could have turned my little corner of the interweb into Homer Simpson's nucular power station console, with a button that instantly splurges my thoughts into the nearby universe with little or no interaction from me.
You might wonder why I'm even bothering. Don't worry – I don't know why either. It's something to do, I guess. Most people have a hobby – golf, football, motor racing, or something – I tinker with pointless crap.
The Wordpress blog essentially becomes “VGER” from Star Trek the Motion Picture – at the heart of an emormous, complex miracle of engineering.
