In the Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) portion of a course a couple weeks ago, a student told me about a website called If This, Then That (IFTTT). I signed up for an account, and I’d encourage y’all to do the same.
The first thing I did was create an email alert (using the New York Times) for US House and Senate voting. So each time they vote, I’ll receive an email alert with the bill name, description, voting lines, and some other information. Obviously, IFTTT has some REALLY great potential. You can even receive alerts through SMS text messages.
Now IFTTT won’t crawl the web and send you alerts. It’s a great productivity tool. Want to receive a text each time a specific person emails you? Done. Want to receive an alert if there’s going to be inclement weather? Done.
