Comment on With $30M More in Hand, IFTTT Looks to the Internet of Things

Comments

IFTTT surely has a lot of potential. IOT device management might become a problem for normal users, if IOT does become mainstream in the future.

The normal scenarios which we can think of right now for example coming home and things turn on to appropriate settings, blocking phones during meetings etc are surely easy for us to understand, but my parents if they figure these things out and can setup such tasks them selves, I see a huge market and use for such services. It is still too geeky for normal people, it needs to provide use cases for normal folks not just tweeps or facebook generation.

IFTTT needs the money, their servers used to be slow when I last used it.
