🫡 is the most powerful emoji, but 99% of people aren’t using it right. Here are 9 ways to get the most out of 🫡.

@CoryMckane @ScottHickle Happy to chat, Scott! We tackle the 10DLC registration to help you scale. Primarily API-first, but offer a quick launch no-code app as well if you just need messages out

@ScottHickle @MartinLLien

Is there a good SMS alternative to Twilio for app-to-person?

@thegarrettscott Such a sick idea! Tested it out now, what's the best way to send you feedback?

By popular demand, I added a waitlist: doanythingmachine.com

Over the weekend I finished the to-do list that does itself. Everytime you add a task, a GPT-4 agent is spawned to complete it. It already has the context it needs on you and your company, and has access to your apps. It’s called the Do Anything Machine (Link in thread)

This is crazy, going to be a different world once every company has 1,000 of this!

Probably the best thing you'll see today. In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world. The results 🧵 1/22

Day 1 of kickoff left the cohort feeling energized & stimulated. 🙏🏽 to @MartinLLien, Co-Founder and CEO of @text_volt for being transparent about his journey. Additionally, thank you to our partners at @OCAST and @CortadoVentures for meeting with our #g8OKCCohort1 founders 🫶🏾

@CoryMckane @samuel_spitz You know it! @samuel_spitz let me know if you want us to help you find a strategy to cut that in half

@samuel_spitz @MartinLLien help him out

Twilio was on track to be $100k/mo before long so no more text alerts for Gently 😢

@dee_plainview @CoryMckane @ParkerRex Yes truly nothing against Twilio, they are the go-to for a reason! But keep in mind SMS features are a margin business. Unless your use case is simple one-off’s or low volume, not everyone can afford to pay twice the per-SMS cost. Twilio - $0.0079/SMS Vs. Telnyx - $0.0040/SMS

is twilio still the 🐐 for sending sms updates?

@CoryMckane @ParkerRex Happy to give some unbiased feedback! I think for ease of implementation on a <10k SMS per month product/campaign Twilio is still unbeatable, but anything over that I’d start looking at Telnyx to get better pricing and support. Happy to chat if you wanna dig in more!

@ParkerRex I would ask @MartinLLien

Turned 26 on 26. I think what was most special about this past year are all the friends I’ve made on the internet, many who’ve turned into real friends & some family! Looking forward to all the new frens, learnings & opportunities that come with another year around the sun ❤️

Stable Diffusion is only 30 days old… a MEGA THREAD 🧵 on its rapid rise.
