To get you started you might want to implement a Google Voice like application. Though that sounds that might sound difficult, using Twilio it can easily be done in a weekend. It will teach a lot about how to create Twilio applications plus it gives you the freedom that Google Voice lacks.

For example I hated getting phone calls when I was in meetings. So I hooked my Twilio app into my Google Calendar API and bam, when I was in meeting Twilio would ask them to leave a message or press 5 if it was an emergency. Also greeting people by name when they call is pretty awesome.



And what might this "app" that you speak of be? :)


I haven't worked on it in a while, but you can still view the code here: https://github.com/ekosz/Personal-C-Assistant


Thanks!
