I just ran across the site: ifttt.com (stands for "if this then that"). It appears to be a primitive autonomous intelligent personal agent, capable of monitoring a variety of information sources and triggering various actions. I just set up a rule to send me an email when I post to my blog.
So part of this post is just a test of IFTTT. :-)
Although the idea interests me, I'm not sure how heavily I will use it (my email inbox is clogged enough without messages telling me that it might rain tomorrow). But who knows? If I find a compelling use for it, I'll post it here. Which will generate an email to myself. Which will cause me to remove that rule since, hey, I think I know when I post to my own blog.

Well, it worked. I received an email containing my post. I wasn't watching the clock, but it probably took about 15 minutes.
