Goodbye, Twilio
Thank you Miguel for all of your contributions to Twilio over the past four years, and I hope your next gig is just as rewarding!<p>For all those interested in why we acquired Segment, and are focused on the integration of data and communications -- several years ago, we came to the conclusion that the world doesn't need more communications, it needs better communications. More relevant. More effective.<p>As a developer, I know that's really hard to pull all the threads together to make  realtime personalization of every communication hard -- and Segment is so good at it.<p>So that's what we're focused on!<p>As an aside, the fraud and scam vectors of email, sms, and voice have grown a lot since we started the company 15 years ago. We are always fighting that cat and mouse game with the bad folks of the world. Are we perfect, no. But are we here to make money off those bad actors? Hell no. That's why we just launched fraud guard [1] for free to all Verify customers, and soon to all SMS customers as well. More to come like this.<p>Happy Father's Day (in the US) HN!<p>[1] <a href="https://www.twilio.com/docs/verify/preventing-toll-fraud/sms-fraud-guard" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.twilio.com/docs/verify/preventing-toll-fraud/sms...</a>
