The last week, I've been tinkering with Google's Analytics API. What I wanted to do was have daily reports on my website which then tweets the difference from yesterday to today. The ideal situation was I would have it SMS me the results. The problem is that my phone carrier (Rogers) complicates things. For most carriers, you can email a carrier-supplied address (5555555@att.com for example) which in turn would send an SMS to that address. But, what Rogers does is once you receive a text, you have to respond back with REPLY to view it. Stupid huh.
To get around this, I subscribe to my bots account via text message and for every new tweet, I get a text message.
