Tim Lytle, a developer, won the Twilio + Drop.io contest with his application `DropMail`, which allows users to record and send voicemails using Twilio's communication services. The app uses Twilio's PHP library and Drop.io's capabilities to play back messages and send notifications via SMS. Tim created the app over a weekend as part of a larger Zend Framework MVC project, and his advice for developers just starting with Twilio is to "just make something." He also suggested that Twilio could improve its fax capabilities by accepting faxes through its service.
