Don't sell the upsell opportunity short either. If you buy a lot of things at Starbucks, you could probably be more easily convinced to spend more on your next trip.

The way to do this (I've heard) if you do not know anyone at Twitter is to buy a lot of ads then ask your sales rep to see if they can help.

If you are getting truly unsolicited calls or messages you can email Twilio and ask them to check it out. However, having worked there and looking up numbers I was getting contacted by, I never had a positive match in Twilio's inventory.

Voice communication is not going away any time soon. Twilio Client lets them continue powering it for developers well into the future. (disclaimer: used to work there)

Stripe meetups look great and all, but I'm going to be unreasonably ticked off until they happen outside the US. ;)

It's ok, it isn't meant for you. I also didn't get it, and I worked very closely with Danielle for a long time at Twilio. Then one day my sister-in-law who writes a blog about her hobby farm and Etsy business IMed me and asked "how do I mak

The authors can post their content wherever they want after 30 days of exclusivity in The Magazine. So you'll probably see most of it turn up outside of iOS.

That's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VoiceXML , though it's not particularly developer friendly, hence why Twilio simplified the model and established and upcoming companies are copying it.

They're not writing them checks before they start on something, like MS would in the article you wrote. You built something, you can sell it, and if lots of people use it you get a bonus. It's closer to the App Store's commission on sales t

It took me about 5 tries for it to actually find the address I kept searching for and tapping on, but once it 'took' the directions were accurate and easy to follow (walking to the stop, which bus, how long, etc).

Sadly the 'we don't sell swag' policy didn't last. I left right about the time that changed (unrelated). Edit: looks like StartupSchwag was before I was there and I was not aware of Twilio's participation.

I gave out thousands of shirts during my time at Twilio and never once sold one. You got one because we met you or you did something cool and wanted to thank you for the modicum of attention you were able to spare us and for being part of o

TripIt makes me sad. It had such huge potential and has almost entirely stagnated. The point tracker is frequently just plain broken, the app is indeed terribly slow (especially offline, the mode I'm usually in when I need it most) and poor
