It’s Micro Monday, so …. @stefp
Personalized E-mails Should Be .. Well .. Personalized!
There must be something about me at this time of the year .. apparently I first signed up with IFTTT six years ago! They even sent me a ‘happy birthday’ message this morning …
It’s been six years since you joined IFTTT on February 6, 2012.
… and then tried to give me some guidance on using the service more with some recommendations.
I have to say the 4 applets that they picked for me were neither relevant, interesting, clever or even unknown … you would have thought that with all the triggers and tracking that they have behind the scenes that they could have done a lot better with their personal recommendations.
For example they know the services I have connected to, how often my applets get triggered, how long they have been there … which is a clue to where I spend time, what I do and where my interests lie.

COMMENTS : Didn’t want to see it based on the ads … and then it won all of those nominations. Still wish I hadn’t bothered.
Just a post shared from Unread after seeing it (the reader - not the Post) promoted by @Brentsimmons this morning.
Moving My 1999 Posts to Micro.Blog
I have linked my 1999 site into Micro.Blog - so that if I publish something on River.BeyondBridges.net … the post finds it’s way into my Micro.Blog timeline.
So far so good.
Now what I want to do is pull all of the historical posts that are there into here (the public facing side of my Micro.Blog)
In other words …
A one off import of all the content at My River to John DOT Philpin
Onwards - I know there is help to be had somewhere.
Funny how milestones come all at once …
New ‘To Do’ … that might never get done … move 450 or so posts from my 1999 Server to Micro.Blog … any instructions, help, direction … very welcome …
Bought DayONE 2 … 2 Years Ago Today … according to DayONE 2 … is that meta - or just confusing?
Wait … Groundhog Day? Today?
Hat hung onto … feeling good about the workflow … still not quite right … but it no longer feels wrong!

As of this writing
Apple’s market cap is $860B. That’s based on a price to earning ratio of 18.25.
Amazon’s market cap is $696B, with a P/E ratio of 364.98.
And Alphabet? Hot on Apple’s tail with a market cap of $811B and a P/E of 39.09.
In effect, Apple’s stock is grounded in actual results, while Amazon’s stock is more of a flier, based on growth and the thinking that Amazon is going to eat the world.
… and Apple is the one that is ‘doomed’
