I'm a little confused as to the Twilio reference. Does this mean Chute will allow users to MMS images to a phone number with a server backend?

- oacgnol 15y agoI think they just mean that it's supposed to be an easy, versatile API for photo integration into whatever web app you're working on, like how Twilio is an API for phone integration.
- Barnabas 15y agoYou know that product {X} has arrived when it's assumed to be so mainstream that is's being used to describe functionality {Y} in sentences like "it's like {X} for {Y}".

- conroy 15y agoMe too, and I work at Twilio.
- suprasanna 15y agoIsn't twilio working on allowing web apps to receive MMS messages? I assumed this is what Chute is intending to do.
- gregarious 15y agoMMS would be very cool - we support web services, email, mobile and would love to add MMS. I'm sure we'd use Twilio to accomplish it as well :)

- solnyshok 15y agoGuys, what about multipart SMS message sending/receiving, and 6 sms/minute speed limit?
- adriand 15y agoFrom what I can tell, this would be better called "Zencoder for photos", not "Twilio for photos".
- gregarious 15y agoThe Twilio reference is more a nod to how effective Twilio has been at making voice accessible to developers. It's more an analogy and definitely not the ideal, most precise way to describe what we do. We're much more likely to consider ourselves akin to Heroku as we offer infrastructure and connections to services that make deploying and running super simple. Not to say that Twilio doesn't accomplish the same for tons of folks.
