Matt Billings

Radiohead, Babies, & SMS Magic

Coupling broadcast email notifications with SMS services can yield powerful tools for a variety of tasks. I first developed a simple notification app to help me score pre-sale Radiohead tickets, and later expanded this into a robust notification service to announce my son's birth last fall. But these examples are just a hint of what's possible. This presentation will describe the application architecture and explore future possible iterations, including integration with social media API's.
