I wanted to discuss the technology behind Twilio. I have been playing around with the service for a few days now and it is simply mind-blowing. While I don't have a direct need for it right now, I am curious to find the back-end of the technology. So can anyone shed some thoughts on how does Twilio do its magic? ...
I'm making an IVR system for a project, and have decided on Twilio to handle the phone portion (making and receiving calls, sending and receiving SMS messages).

There is a good pitch on Twilio here I just don't get how they can do that with a website. How can you control a land line with a web browser? ...
I'm trying to get started with Twilio's REST API using the rubygem twilio-ruby, and I've hit a snag.

I'm interested to find out how twilio's SMS sending/receiving feature works, on long codes, or local numbers Outside of the states, mobile originated SMS terminated on a long number is very common, however, inside the US I had thought that the MMA required termination on approved shortcodes? Any ideas? Thanks ...
I thought it I could specify any URL - including the twimlets used in conference calls - in the Play verb of a TwiML file. However, the following does not work... http://twimlets.com/holdmusic?Bucket=com.twilio.music.classical#&Message=please%20wait ... and neither does the twimlet when I strip away the arguments... http://twimlet...
