Leading our day is a report from VentureBeat about Twilio adding Facebook Messenger as a supported platform. This is interesting because Twilio has been focused on SMS/MMS for a long time and adding Messenger could change the pricing and overall dynamics of the service. WordPress released v4.5 “Coleman” of their CMS. As always, it is good to see the continued improvement of WordPress. Google announced a new feature for Calendar called Goals. This is an odd feature, but there is something very cool going on with a goal. Calendar will automatically reschedule things and things can move around. This is something that we need to keep our eye on.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
