A Heroku or EC2 build would be amazing

Hosted would also be good though, I think there are a whole class of people who don't care all that much who has access to their data so long as they could self host it (or have someone else host it for them) if the service ever stopped running.



I don't understand why those people would be using Flickr, Facebook and Twitter instead of, say, OpenPhoto, Diaspora, and StatusNet.


Because those services are 3-10 orders of magnitude larger than a startup running open-IFTTT as a service? Because they already have critical business operations interacting with these large(r) services?

(Just two reasons I could imagine. But I get your point... especially with my recent sadness over Google Reader.)
