Summary

The `Any Goes Contest` was won by Billy Chasen who built an SMS-controlled door lock using a Parallax Spinneret Webserver and Twilio's services. The system allows anyone with any phone to open the office door without keys, utilizing text messages as the primary means of control. Billy's project is notable for its simplicity and ease of use, making it accessible to users beyond just those with specific apps or software. The contest also recognized three runners-up, including projects such as Blizzalert, TextLang, and hipfone.me, each showcasing innovative uses of Twilio's services in different contexts.
