Freesound Forums

IFTTT is a really smart automation system for most of the social medias. I definitely think that Freesound could totally benefit from becoming a channel in this site. It works like this:

Now how would this affect freesound?

You could have a trigger that is activated whenever:

* you upload a public domain sound, and post it to facebook.
* Someone downloads, comments or rates your sound, send the user a thanks message.
* Someone remixes your sound, post the remix on tumblr.
* Someone quotes you in the freesound forum, send an SMS to your phone.
* ...

The list goes on and on and on.

If there is anything freesound should do during 2013 is to engage IFTTT. It helps you as a sound designer to spread info on your work around without doing a single bit.

Hello, thanks for sharing this.

Although at Freesound we are inclined to sway towards a non-social-media type of service, this is however, interesting and perhaps extremely practical. Freesound has stayed relatively contained over the past years, maybe its time to expand a little to a service just that bit more significant.

I've forwarded this idea to the tech team.
