Twilio, cloud communications provider we covered for few times in the past, is bringing its voice and messaging APIs to Windows Azure customers. As a result, developers whose apps require features such as interactive voice response, mobile app distribution via SMS, call automation or two-factor authentication, will be able to use Twilio’s REST API to get a flexible, scalable and reliable way to access global telecommunications networks.
But that’s not all — to further sweeten the deal (and get some users right from the bat), Twilio is providing developers with a starting credit of 1,000 free text messages or inbound voice minutes with sign up.
Finally, if you’ve been living under a rock, you should know Windows Azure is Microsoft’s cloud platform for building, deploying and scaling web, mobile, enterprise, and many other applications in the cloud.
Additional information on how to integrate Twilio into your Windows Azure apps is available from here.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
