Project: Apple Store Freebie

See results for Project Apple Store Freebie.

Still playing with AppZapp on IFTTT and created the cousin of the Project: Google Play Freebie - Project: Apple Store Freebie.

This time, we're creating blog posts for Apple Store Top Apps that are now "Free".  All of these are stored under the category - "Project: Apple Store Freebie".

Maybe a bit anti-climatic, but these two recipes are proof of concepts that automation can be done fairly simply in the web these days with or without programming know how.

There already exists a recipe for finding Free Kindle books and I may publish that one to the site as well, just to be through.

But the next Automation project after that will be a little more challenging.  I promise... :) We'll be looking at using the RSS feed to identify deals on Amazon.

Eventually, I'd like to expand that looking for deals on Amazon to doing comparison shopping for the same item against eBay (or maybe others sites) to look for arbitrage opportunities.  Maybe it'll work, or maybe not... maybe it would work better the other way around, eBay deals to sell via Amazon.

Well, we'll find out soon enough.

Until next time.
Alex
