Good takeaway:
"Opportunities have a way of appearing when you build lots of stuff"

#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
Twilio is more complete and supports a lot more carriers and doesn't look like it came from an email address. TextBelt is pretty sweet though if you want basic messaging.
Textbelt uses sendmail under the hood and keeps a list of carrier email domains. So you're actually sending emails to 5552328491@att.com. Depending on the carrier, those text messages look a bit weird.
I checked the source to see what it's doing, and it actually is sending the text to every provider that has an email-to-text address, and therefore probably ignoring the returned failure emails.

#23Awesome work, I'm going to message you later about how to get into the space industry! Was inspired by your blog post to do my own for 2014 -> http://thomasdav.is/2014-side-projects/
You guys both inspired me to write my own:
