I go to the "about" page - http://ifttt.com/wtf - and get:

    Apologies, ifttt requires a spiffy new browser
    to work all its magic correctly.  Your current
    browser isn't compatible.
I don't expect to be told to upgrade just to find out what something does. Can't they produce an explanation that doesn't require a "spiffy new browser" ?? The blog post is simple enough to render properly in my elderly browser on my elderly machine, but it just talks aboute event-driven programming for the masses, and waiting in line for Indian food.

It's April 1st, and that makes me grumpy, but there's a lesson for all people who want to present a product to the world:

    Make it easy for people
    to want your product.

    Don't make it hard for
    people to see what you do!



Hi, what elderly browser are you using? Will see if I can fix.
