[...] Twilioサービスを使うと、デベロッパーが少数の基本的なAPIコマンドを使って、通常の電話機能（電話をかけたり、留守電メッセージを聞いたり）を組み込むことができる。このRick Rollアプリのような基本的なプロジェクトを作るのには、数行のコードだけで済むほか、デベロッパーがもっと高度なアプリケーションを書くこともできる（Earth911はTwilioを使って、同社の1-800-CLEANUPリサイクルホットラインで使っていたシステムを置き換えた）。 [...]

I rickrolled myself on my phone’s speaker this morning just to wake up to rick astley’s voice. Is that weird?

I rickrolled myself juts as a test, because I think the concept is pretty funny. Unfortunately, the execution here is super lame – when you answer it says “You’ve been rickrolled by [phone number of sender]” then the song starts. That takes away all the fun. First off if you’ve heard of rickrolling it completely spoils the surprise. Second off it’s not anonymous. What the hell fun is that? I was going to send it to one of my friends who I thought would get a laugh out of it, but now I’m not going to

That phrase was already claimed by lfgcomic. To their credit, it was hilarious: undead warlock singing the song then melting everyone’s heads.

I’m sorry, what were we talking about?

ummm… well Twilio isn’t exactly in the business of producing prank phone call apps, at least over the long-term. i believe the point they’re making with the RickRoll app demo is that their platform makes it quick & easy to build simple voice & phone apps with Twilio.

(Rick Astley shouldn’t quit his day job, and look for Twilio to provide more boring examples of voice & phone apps that generate revenue and/or increase productivity)

ps – & yes i’m advising Twilio, but only on RickRoll marketing campaigns.
