johnson Twilio has an incredible API

We've got great coverage for voice in countries all over the world: http://www.twilio.com/pricing/international-calling-rates You can both call to those countries and receive calls from them. We also just recently added local numbers in the UK in beta (http://www.twilio.com/uk-voice), which is just touching on the surface of what will be coming outside the US.

You've got my email now so we can get international calling enabled for your account if you'd like. Just reply in our other thread and let me know.

johnson IE 10: Metro style browsing - one engine, two experiences

The biggest difference is that Metro IE doesn't support Flash/Silverlight/plugins and desktop IE does. This is, I suspect, why they put a 'switch to desktop IE' feature into Metro IE. Site's broken? Just flip to the full version.

We historically have not done version bumps for minor improvements to the API that do not break existing applications. 2010-04-01 has been updated a couple times since it was first released with new features (like subaccounts, applications and short codes) but all of those were additive there was no reason to change the version.

johnson Twilio SMS price halved to a penny per message

We've had 3 price drops on our services in the past year, so while I don't have anything I can promise you for outbound calls, we're committed to giving you the best price we are able to provide.

We'd prefer to stay in business too! We're growing and as we get bigger we get better rates that we can pass on to you and the numbers still work. So you can have both: lower prices and we'll still be around in 10 years (and hopefully the next 50 years after that).

You can port numbers to and from us for free and if they are US local numbers, you can use them for SMS. More info: http://www.twilio.com/faq/porting

johnson Twilio SMS price halved to a penny per message

For the previous international SMS service (which was also in beta, though admittedly, not very clearly denoted as such) we notified those that we believed would be impacted by the change. I'm sorry that you did not receive a notification. That should not have happened that way.

Every customer, regardless of volume, is important to us. We're opening up the intl SMS beta to more and more customers every day. I'm happy to try to work something out with you. If we can't get you up and running, I'll refund your $20. Email me: jsheehan@twilio.com

We currently have it in beta. You can sign up for access here: http://www.twilio.com/international-sms (Note that page says 2c/msg, but it is 1c/msg in the beta as well)

johnson Attachmate lays off Mono employees

"unknown number of U.S. based Novell developers that were working on the open source Mono project." does not mean the entire team was laid off. Second, no source is cited and this is unconfirmed as of yet. I think people should calm down with the speculation until something official happens.
