TxtAtlas: My Sunday project, built with Twilio, Node.js, and Redis
- pyre 16y agoApparently there are 'free gropes at the airport' in Minneapolis. Huh?
- semanticist 16y agoA usability suggestion: remove the existing info window overlays when you add a new one, having them overlap looks ugly and is hard to read.
- swanson 16y agoCool! I checked out your src since I am having some troubling finding any node.js projects that aren't a socket.io chatroom or the hello-world HTTP server.

- johndbritton 16y agoThis is pretty cool, Ben Nadel also built a similar app using cold fusion and Twilio: http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1967-Cell-Phones-SMS-Twilio-Pusher-ColdFusion-And-Google-Maps-Fun.htm http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1967-Cell-Phones-SMS-Twilio-Pus...
- sjwalter 16y agoThat app is awesome and way slicker than my little hack here. Cool!
- rgejman 16y agoNeat idea! The only issue is probably not resolvable. My area code is 847, placing me in northeast Illinois, but I live in NYC. I sent a shoutout with "Hello from NYC!" and it shows up in Illinois!
- johns 16y agoSMS doesn't provide real-time geolocation data so the best info available is based on the area code.
- nico 16y agoCool, worked with Chile! Too bad all cellphones here have the same area code.
- samratjp 16y agoJust curious - why the popularity in Redwood City and the same txt message for all of them: "Gort, Klaatu barada nikto." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaatu_barada_nikto http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaatu_barada_nikto)
- sjwalter 16y agoSome person spammed that over and over. I contacted them. They are pretty cool. :) Really wish I was back in the valley, as this little experiment has put me in contact with lots of wicked hackers.
- andre 16y agoit's probably NOT a good idea to not post cell phone # in the open: http://txtatlas.com/pins http://txtatlas.com/pins
- kevinburke 16y agoEdit: Twilio doesn't work with page plus cellular, bummer
- johns 16y agoCan you email me at jsheehan@twilio.com? I want to look into this.
- kevinburke 16y agoI checked again and Twilio does work with Page Plus - the problem was with my phone.
- tzury 16y agoCool, I sent a text message, but do not see me on the map. Note, I do exist on '/pins' which suggest that's probably a bug in Google maps {"text":"Hello from Tel Aviv","date":"Mon Nov 22 2010 06:40:39 GMT+0000 (UTC)","location":{"country":"IL","lat":40.6331249,"lng":-89.3985283}} That's me.
- bambax 16y agoJust texted from Paris, got pinned in the middle of France: I guess for Europe it only detects the country?
- keith_erskine 16y agoHats off to Twilio - it makes SMS dead simple
