IFTTT’s top recipes of 2013 will inspire you to get creative on the automation service

Automation service IFTTT (If This, Then That) has rounded up its top recipes of 2013 — and it turns out that syncing between Facebook and Twitter is the most popular one among its users.

The recipe that takes second place is saving articles in both Feedly and Pocket, followed by receiving new recipe suggestions in your email daily.
