 Presentation summary:

    Introduction to TxtWeb (http://www.txtweb.com) - developing SMS apps
    for billions. In this talk we will explore the TxtWeb platform, an
    open platform where anyone with a mobile platform can consume
    content (internet and txtweb only) by SMSing keywords to a
    national number, and receive a response over SMS. The platform
    providers ways to create content for the keyword via a txtweb
    site, and as an alternative a way to map the keyword to an
    external application that can service the keyword. Txtweb
    translates HTML content from the application to a format
    that is usable over SMS. Txtweb is available in India, USA
    and Canada. This talk with feature a few slides and also has
    code and demo of apps that be built with txtweb.

 About the Speaker:

    Manoj Bharadwaj is a software developer at Intuit. He has previously
    worked at Lulu, Peek, Adchemy and ThoughtWorks.

    Manoj, at Peek, worked for their startup in India and was the technical
    person in charge of launching a data only (email) device (
http://www.getpeek.in).
    During that tenure he got fascinated with SMS and the potential of text
     messaging and had been exploring various ways of building apps that
work
    over SMS. When he finally discovered txtweb he realized that this was
    the easiest platform with which a developer could SMS enable the apps
    they were developing and at no cost.
