Basically Microsoft Flow is almost the same thing with IFTTT and Zappier, but would be interesting to see if Microsoft will succeed with this.

What do you think about Microsoft Flow?

A lot of animation is currently being done by top websites, we have Google, and now Microsoft launching automated applications. I wonder what the future of the internet is? Perhaps everything, or most things will be done automatically? It's very interesting to see this trend, and more interesting to see how exactly this trend plays out.

At what point do we as Internet users say we want either more or less automation? I'm so glad that things are being automated, I try to automate everything I do so I don't have to spend time doing it. Lol.

Oh this sure looks interesting. I am in agreement here, anything that can automate the things I do and make things easier for me is amazing.

I have a policy where I try and make the most amount of money in the least amount of time with me doing as little as possible. And no I am not lazy by any means.I will work all day and night to achieve my goals. I just mean that I don't see the point in doing things that can be done for me.

I'm going to check this out, I am not familiar with IFTT or Zappier.

This looks promising at first glance. There is a big list of services being offered, see below. It is going to take a lot of time to figure out how use and implement each one.

It will be interesting to see what developers will do for custom application via the API. Any ideas?
I am also wondering what service(s) below would everyone want to automate? What would be your favorites? How would you want them to work to increase your efficiency?

Oh wow that is a long list Webguy2024! I would need some time to figure out what all of those are before I could choose. A lot of them I have never even heard of.

There is always something new coming out. It is getting quite hard to try and keep up with everything.

I couldn't agree with you more on that one Webguy2024. It is awesome that there is so much to use and check out but on the other hand I often feel quite bombarded with all the tools, social networks and other nifty things to make use of online!

I checked out the service. And I find it really good. I think microsoft is doing really good in this direction. Considering how the tool is going to work same as the IFTTT and Zapier. You can see that some of such services are not completely free. And microsoft offering those options are same price can be something worth going forward to. I'd definitely consider that as an option.
