##Yello

Yello uses Twilio and Yelp's API to help people with dumbphones find fun things to do around them. Here's how it works (so far):

  • Get your phone to send a text message to (323) 248-9357.
  • You can remember this as +1 DAD BIT YELP. I have no idea why Dad would bite Yelp. Perhaps he's angry.
  • Send a text message like this: "chinese food near 3238 Adeline Street, Oakland CA".
  • You need to put the word "near" in the message, so I know when you stop talking about your search topic and when you start talking about my address.
  • Make sure your address is well-formatted. Yelp's search engine is really picky and I haven't made anything more flexible (yet).
  • Wait for a response. While waiting, consider that the above example is my real home address. Please do not rob my house while waiting.
  • Recieve the business name and location. Walk, drive, bike, or fly your private jet there.
  • Purchase your chinese food. Do not spill General Tso's sauce on your new suit.

That's about it, so far. Stay posted for updates coming tonight and tomorrow.
