It looks cool superficially - But I'm damned if I can find a way to get it to: a) TRIGGER on a JSON web API or anything vaguely generic; b) DO a JSON API or even a generic (authenticated) HTTP GET. Right now all it seems to do is let you do silly stuff like "IF weather=Raining THEN DO post a tweet". Am I missing something or is it just a load of daft old bollocks?

I only had it installed for about five minutes so I'm no expert, but what I saw seemed that it was a bunch of social network connectors. It couldn't even do much of anything with the phone itself. So you'd probably have to write a plugin for it to do what you want.

Anyone had any dealings with lightweight android app development platforms? MIT's app inventor seems interesting - but it's still hard to see how to get it to do a low level operation.
