OK. So to all the people out there, in the world who, want to create a "social media aggregator" or basically get all of your posts from, an array of social media in to one feed AND do it for free listen up. 

So this come to me two nights ago.  I was using the bathroom (yeah I know) at work.  (And I have been trying to actively seek out something that would combine, my Facebook, Instagram, Swarm and put it all into one news feed, so I could then post it on my website)  So the first word(s) that I came across first was SOCIAL MEDIA AGGREGATORs.

I found some thirty Social Media Aggregators  out there.  And just by glancing at what they do, who there targeted too, I was able to tell a lot about them.  Let's just say, they all cost money.   Some let you sign up for free and get a trial, or so many accounts (2) for free but at the end of the day they all cost money. About half of them did some really hefty stuff (for business and such) and I wasn't looking for that.  So those were out.  The others that were on the list were no longer in service.  Or for whatever reason didn't do what I wanted.  EXECEPT.  Juicy.to  The only problem with this one is it only let me connect two accounts. (psh) And it was kinda limited to Facebook, Instagram, Linked In.  and Nobody could connect to my SWARM account.

So I hesitatingly signed up and tried it.  It was the closest I was going to get.

And so I was kinda deadlocked and so I spent about 2 months on it.

UNTIL...

It came to me.  And I found the APP to do the work and the place to host it.  ALL for free.  (it even did Swarm)

IFTTTT



Does all my heavy lifting.    So here is a couple of my recipes (and yes they call them recipes)



So the DO is Facebook (status update text only and then the photo post) and the THEN is on BLOGGER. This Blog.

The only thing is it doesn't have a Linked In.  Which I'm sure will change super fast.  But I don't post anything there so it's not as important. (Not like Instagram and Swarm and Facebook)
How simple.

So Social Media Aggregators. Look Out.
