I'm wondering if there's a twilio based replacement for google voice. It's got most of the building blocks.

There are plenty of paid replacements for Google Voice, so a Twilio one would fit right in.

However, I suspect it's the free aspect that everyone's bemoaning. :-)

Fix your certificates! Your cert is signed for webfaction but you're hosted at kkinder. Host: kkinder.com Common name: .webfaction.com Alternative subject names: regex([^.] \.webfaction\.com), regex(webfaction\.com)

OP (as in the site) here.

It's not my certificate, it's your browser, which I assume is Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP? You're using a browser that does not support TLS, a cutting edge new technology that's over 10 years old. Get Firefox or Chromium.

Anyone using hosted.im?

I'm planning to switch to that one too. Moved away from mail / calendars etc a while ago. Talk has been keeping me attached. If I switch my domain to another XMPP provider using the same email address as in my google apps account, will the migration be seamless for my contacts (who are still using Google talk)?

I had been thinking of that, though Twilio's pricing would probably be prohibitive. They actually charge more than my cell provider for minutes. But everything you'd need is right in the API.
