| You make a great point, but it's also somewhat disingenuous ;) It takes some time to learn how to use a platform. It takes some time to code on a platform. The actual writing of code is easiest when you are doing small applications. However, when you are writing larger applications the coding becomes the larger portion of time. Today it's easier to learn Twilio than Tropo - largely because Tropo needs better documentation (that's coming very soon). However, I will contend that once you know the platform, Tropo is easier - and much more powerful. I think that's what others are saying in this thread. We've also heard that from customers who have switched from Twilio to Tropo. None of this should be surprising to anyone. Voxeo has been doing developer-centric telephony for ten years. Voxeo knows all the little problems and challenges that can come up over time and we've built a platform to address them. Twilio is new to the industry, they came at things with a fresh set of eyes and were able to "re-factor" the simplicity and usability yet again with that fresh perspective. I say "re-factor" because it's exactly what we did at Voxeo when we started in 1999. The experience reminds me of Battlestar Galactica: All this has happened before, and all this will happen again. |
