I was checking out Twilio and wanted to do a weekend project. So I built helplin.com
It basically connects a person who needs help with a person who can help on a particular topic. So people that want help with setting up something, programming questions, etc. can get a one-on-one walkthrough from someone who wants to help.
I already have a way for users that want to help to charge a certain amount per call. But, the process for paying and receiving money was too many steps. Still looking for a good merchant payment API.
So try it out and let me know what you guys think?
Read is the bare minimum. I requested write so that people that are helping can send out a tweet from the form to let their followers know that they are taking calls about a certain topic.
It doesn't tweet without the user's consent.
edit: Also, full access includes direct message, which it doesn't request.
Update: Removed write access, just read. Thanks for the feedback.
Yep, that's what I ended up doing a few minutes after reading your comment. Was an oversight by me originally. Thanks again. Try it out now and let me know.
I would not trust my Twitter account to an outside party. Could you provide other login mechanism? Also I rather liked if it just used microphone as international calls are probably too expensive.
