Send Twitter @replies and @mentions straight to your phone 0

Posted February 24, 2010

So, I now follow 200+ people and my twitter timeline is a bit too much to enable sending all tweets as txts to my phone. I do, however, want to know ASAP whenever someone @replies to me and so, replies2phone.com was born.

All you need to do is, sign up and it’ll make you follow the @rep2p bot, once you do that, the bot will scan the Twitter Streaming API for @mentions and DM them to you as they occur.

I’ll write a more detailed architecture post soon, but just wanted to put it out there for your enjoyment! Feedback appreciated.
