What Problem Does Twilio Solve? We’re always building web applications, and sometimes we want those apps to be able to interact with phone callers.

Why Twitter's t.co is a game changer - O'Reilly... →
Twitter has been open with its data from the start, and widely available APIs have created a huge variety of applications and fast adoption. But by making their platform so open, Twitter has fewer options for monetization. The one thing they can do that nobody else can — because they’re the message bus — is to rewrite tweets in transit. That includes hashtags and URLs. Twitter...

Signalling (economics)
In economics, more precisely in contract theory, signalling is the idea that one party (termed the agent) conveys some meaningful information about itself to another party (the principal).
