Yeah, I use it already, but not with IFTTT. The RSS feeds go straight to my Inoreader.
But by integrating directly we could have much more triggers (basically anything that happens on the blockchain) and we would get much more visilibity (IFTTT is used by millions of people) which is a great way to do marketing. Because of these benefits I want to see this happening, I'm not suggesting this only to get a better usability of Steem for myself.
Yes, of course a straight integration into IFTTT would simplify things big time and allow plenty more options. So I am supporting your request.
