Converting content to tiddler format would have to be managed by a TW tool, but the idea of having ifttt rules like "when I get email at myname.tw@gmail, add it to my wiki", "when I get a fitbit report, add it to my wiki", "when I add a tiddler tagged with 'photo', post it to Instagram", etc -- that would be pretty cool.
