Syndicated content, IFTTT and all that

This is likely to be a short post. I’ve just spent the best part of an afternoon setting up Web 2.0s and, the most awkward part, linking them all together. Yes, this post is about using IFTTT – commonly known as ‘If This Then That’. The aim is to connect up sites via a number of trigger actions. For example, when the Electrocontent Tumblr blog publishes a similar post will go up on the Electrocontent Blogger site. Duplicate content woes The ultimate trigger is a post like this one. It goes to the RSS and then a number of interesting things happen. The question is, what about duplicate content? Well, it is ok. As long as your site is connected and affiliated with the Web2.0s. Thus the canonical reference should show the post as originating with the main site. This makes it all the more important to build in links to your social properties. Anyhow, go if you want to see a list of Electrocontent’s Web2.0s. I’ll report back on how this experiment went.
