My weekend Twilio project
I have been really interested in what Twilio has been doing. After hearing about the SMS API, I had to give it a try. The result: my own SMS assistant.
I have noticed that the largest fraction of my cell phone communications revolve around a few simple questions:
Where are you?
&
What are you doing tonight (or near future)?
Many times, I miss calls or texts from friends asking these questions, resulting in missed opportunities to hang out or socialize. So, I decided to remove myself as the bottleneck. Now, if I miss a friend's call, instead of an old voicemail prompt, my SMS assistant (complete with personal greetings) will ask if they want a text with my location and plans for tonight.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Give it a try (call me). If you get routed to voicemail it is because you aren't in my contacts or it is broken. Either way, let me know and I can add your number or fix it.

Thanks for being among the first to kick the tires on the Twilio SMS API.
