Summary

Here is a 1-paragraph summary of the text: The Twilio Developer Contest encourages developers to create push-enabled apps using various services such as Kwikka, Pusher, Orbited, Socket.IO, and more. These services support real-time messaging to browsers and mobile devices, making it easy to publish data in real-time. Node.js is a popular choice for server-side development, with frameworks like Faye and the Google App Engine Channel API providing additional support. With many options available, developers can choose from WebHooks, Comet, and WebSockets to build their apps, and can get help and inspiration from Twilio's resources and community forums before the contest ends on December 19th.
