The Curse Of Recursion

IFTTT is really great service and if you don't know it you really should have a look at it.
It makes life much easier if you what to automate or streamline your different services like Google, Facebook, Twitter, tumblr... But be aware if you set up your functions or recipes as IFTTT calls it.

As some might have notice that I created a nice little loop which spammed my blog, Facebook and twitter. It did the following:

"If blogger post then post on Facebook with link". Would be no problem if there wasn't another one like "If post with link on Facebook then post on blogger"

And now you know where this is going. Yes, it created tons of posts thinking "Hey there is a new link on Facebook lets post it at blogger. Hey there is a new blog entry lets post it on Facebook and twitter. Hey there is a new post at …. And so on.

Luckily I discovered that quickly and with disabling the "Post from Facebook to blog" it went back to normal.
Besides that little learning it is still a great service. I even thinking about getting one of these light/ home controlling units.
