A great sign of this being a classic is that I have heard about this a dozen times before, but this is the first time I actually saw the video. Absolutely great demo, also because it’s so low profile: it’s the type of demo we can all imagine ourselves doing at a meetup, it’s not the kind of super-smooth demo that only a charismatic Steve Jobs-type personality can pull off.

It lets the product do the talking. But that’s also the caveat of this demo: it’s typically very difficult to figure out how to engage your audience in such a way with your product, and Twilio being in the mobile space makes that a lot easier.

And that's exactly why I like this demo so much more than even the original iPhone demo.
