Create a Linked List Generator from Twitter and Google Reader with IFTTT

If you're a blogger that likes to collate your favourite links of the week (either your own or others), I've got two IFTTT recipes that might help that process.

I hit the favourite button on twitter quite a bit, but I almost never go into my favourite list. This first recipe takes every tweet I've starred that has a link, and drops it into an appended text file in Dropbox:

I'm still working out the kinks, since the 'text' area sometimes includes the link itself, but it still works very well.

The next link does the same thing, but with Google Reader. Star anything in Google Reader, and it appends to a note in Dropbox as a Markdown link:

It's with these two IFTTT recipes that I plan to make my weekly More Things article, and it's useful for anyone who wants to keep links to the things they like online.
