   @b0rk couple of years ago, when my friend was at a local hackathon / competition, he needed to automate sending/receiving SMS, but since we live in Armenia, a country that Twilio probably never even heard of, I built my friend a unscalable version of Twilio using Nokia N900, Python 2.5 and DBus. He just had to interact with it via an HTTP API.

   So… I feel you.

     lazyweb: trying to find a blog post with tips for how to design bots that interact over SMS

     less "how to use the Twilio API" (that's easy), more "what state to store in the database, tips for designing state machines, how to keep it simple, etc”
