Jane Kim Crowdsources Poetry Using Twilio: Building Exquisite Texts
Blog post from Twilio
Jane Kim's app Exquisite Texts uses Twilio to crowdsource poetry, allowing users to submit a line of poetry that is then completed by other strangers. The idea came from her senior year post-modern poetry class and was initially built as a prototype with her classmates in 2014. After being revived and revamped for a tech talk at CharmCityJS, the app has gained attention for its unique blend of art and chance, allowing users to contribute to a "black box" poem that is then completed by others. The app's success can be attributed to the whimsical feeling of contributing to something unknown, as seen in the user-generated poems showcased on the platform.
