That's a bit condescending. Twilio and similar services may not be of obvious use to everyone, for example. However, once I explained what it could be used for (and the recent patio11 Twilio presentation helps), most of my friends, while perhaps not needing it, grokked why I was interested. Some saw the utility for their own projects, as well. A more useful response would be to explain what you would use this for and why it might better/different than other solutions. Even a short, one or two sentence project synopsis is more useful than a condescending response like this.

@swah @Jtsummers Thanks for your comments guys. Updated the README https://github.com/haxpax/gosms#whats-the-use-

Thanks for writing this up - that was indeed my point.

On a sidenode, my comments on this website haven't been well received. Maybe I'm not considering that writing does not have intonation?

I thought my comment above was friendly and easy to understand, and in reality it was completely missed.

It wasn't condescending. It was a succinct, insightful and on point comment.

Basically what I was trying to say is that if you aren't aware of your need for such software (from a pretty good description in my opinion), then the software isn't for you. Just a few seconds of review of the website makes it quite obvious what the software is intended for. Meh.

Even if what you say is true, the person wasn't asking whether it would be useful to him or her, just what it could be used for.

Why would anyone want to deny the opportunity to teach someone who wants to learn?
