Thanks Danielo, I had missed that, and I think it's *huge*. Previously,
IFTTT was a bit of a Silicon Valley walled garden, only allowing mainstream
corporate services to be connected together. That was still pretty useful,
but now that we can post arbitrary data, we can do some really interesting
things with TiddlyWiki.

The system relies on secret keys that are unique to your account. We can
re-use the existing password mechanism to store the secret key in the
browser's LocalStorage so that it doesn't need to be embedded in the HTML
file.

We need a startup daemon that listens for the `tm-ifttt` message. Message
parameters would provide the event name, value1, value2 and value3 values
that IFTTT supports. The handler would simply perform an HTTP POST of the
parameters to a URL incorporating the secret key.

The kind of thing one could do would be:

* A commenting system whereby new comments appear as text files in your
personal dropbox (one would need some code to harvest them and convert them
to .tid files)
* An analytics tracker that logs user navigation to Dropbox
* Create a TiddlyWiki user interface to your home automation system
(there's very good support for home automation)

I'm very happy to help and encourage anyone who is inspired to implement
this,

Best wishes

Jeremy
