A use of Markdown that caught my eye: Archiving tweets.

[Alan Hogan]

Matthew Panzarino over at The Next Web highlighted a couple interesting recipes that will archive your tweets to Dropbox, optionally saving in Markdown format.

(Disclaimer: I currently work for IFTTT, which powers those recipes, but I’m sharing only because I thought this was a pretty clever use of Markdown. It’s basically jamming a little bit of markup onto what would otherwise be a plain-text dump.)
