Yay, congrats and thanks for using Twilio. We'd love to share what you built with the community, can you drop me a note at danielle@twilio.com if interested?

I released Pushover, a mobile notification service with clients for Android and iOS. https://pushover.net/ How I built it: http://jcs.org/notaweblog/2012/03/16/on_building_pushover/

Very cool project and I enjoyed reading your notes. I'm going to look into using this for the project I'm currently working on.

A headline generator for my favorite gossip blog: http://robertelwell.info/mediatakeout-headline-generator/

The look and feel is a total tribute to MediaTakeout.com. You can search for terms in the corpus of generated headlines. It was just an excuse for me to play with NLTK and CSS. Nothing too impressive :)

I built my first Live Wallpaper for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.monzonito....

Also built an android app for a manufacturer of GPS tracking systems. The app allows owners to control their assets(cars, motos, boats, etc).
