I developed SMS ‘switchboard’ software as part of my work within the transmedia collective ‘Counterpilot’. This switchboard software enabled operators to have about 100 simultaneous SMS conversations with participants within the audience. I used the Twilio API to communicate with the short message service, and a decision tree was used to structure the narrative of a character that they only ‘saw’ as SMS messages.

Hi! Subconsciously you already know this, but let's make it obvious. Hopefully this article was helpful. You might also find yourself following a link to Amazon to learn more about parts or equipment. If you end up placing an order, I make a couple of dollarydoos. We aren't talking a rapper lifestyle of supercars and yachts, but it does help pay for the stuff you see here. So to everyone that supports this place - thank you.
