The Kingdom app added Twilio to their alternate reality game for the iPhone, while Derek Neighbors from Held demonstrated how it works in a video. International Oubtound Calling entered private beta for a select group of Twilio developers to test and provide feedback. Additionally, HTTP Authentication was made available to Twilio users, allowing them to access password protected URLs with the Twilio API. Zeus Software also published an article on how to voice enable their traffic manager tools using Scala and Twilio. The month kicked off in September with several notable events, including the Gov 2.0 Expo Showcase & Summit, GigaOm's Mobilize: Future of the Mobile Web, and Seattle 2.0's Startup Day. Twilio Office Hours were also held every Thursday from 4-7pm on IRC at Twilio HQ, providing an opportunity for developers to ask questions and meet members of the Twilio development community. The events calendar was updated with new listings, showcasing conferences, hackathons, and networking events where Twilio would be speaking or attending.
