There has been some great interest in the Twilio contest, so the folks at Twilio have upped the prize!
“We have sweetened the pot to motivate the local organizers as well. The winning city will receive a sponsorship from Twilio that includes a meal of pizza, 2 FlipCam Minos, Twilio shirts and stickers AND I’ll fly to that city to hang out at the next event and build something.”
