@aaronpk Tweets are short for a reason. :-) Cards are supposed to augment & annotate, not replicate. Also self-referencing is confusing.
@FarshadNayeri If Twitter had a field to indicate the canonical URL of a post like App.net does I wouldn't need to put the link at the end. I may also then be more inclined to respect Twitter's length limit. Will take your feedback under consideration though. Thanks! -

@aaronpk non sequitor, why include a twitter card with each of your tweet that repeats the tweet?
@FarshadNayeri heh, experimenting, still some glitches. It's nice when my post is longer than Twitter's limit so you can see more inline, but yes it's redundant when they are identical. Check out the #indieweb wiki for more background info: http://indiewebcamp.com/POSSE

@aaronpk right. not exactly seamless http://t.co/XxamLRI0hu
@FarshadNayeri lol, it's actually described right in the screenshot you linked! "When a user opens a URL with the tel scheme in a native application, iOS does not display an alert and initiates dialing without further prompting the user." Awesome! -
@rothgar Not sure what you mean? I've only sent SMSs from the GV app or GV web page.
-
@rothgar sweet, that's a pretty good track record. I may try that again then!
-
@benwerd @t Would love to get your thoughts on http://indiewebcamp.com/indieweb-messaging! Care to take a stab at an implementation with me next week in SF?
-
@rothgar I remember saving the generated numbers from the SMSs it sent back in like 2009. In my experience the numbers would last a while but not forever. Seemed to assign a different number to a person after a couple months. Haven't tested that theory since 2009 so it may be different now.

@FarshadNayeri it doesn't show that prompt, just jumps straight to the phone. Maybe because it's coming from a native app and not from Safari? -

@aaronpk doesn't calling a number via iOS SDK bring up the dreaded "call" dialog?
@FarshadNayeri I think it just opens a URL like tel:1-503-555-1212, see: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/featuredarticles/iPhoneURLScheme_Reference/Articles/PhoneLinks.html

@FarshadNayeri evidently not. It launches the regular iOS phone app but jumps into it having already pressed the "call" button.

@benwerd Yeah Android tends to be more capable for things like that. Sometimes I'm amazed with what Google can get away with being an arms length developer on the iPhone.

@aaronpk Cool, right? Been doing that for a while. In theory can reuse #s & call direct by tying to caller your IDs. Have yet to test that…
@geeknixta Awesome! I just updated the app last week. If I had known this was part of the app update I would have updated much sooner! -
The Google Voice iPhone app found a very clever way to make calls.
When calling someone, it used to first call you, you'd answer and then it would ring the other person.
Now it seems to make a request to the GV servers and dynamically allocate a phone number to your target, then it tells your iPhone to dial the temporary number which they forward on to your target's phone number.
The end result is seamless! Go to the GV app and dial a number, and it Just Works™ -

@Esri @aaronpk think the first code snippet has an error: tiledMapLayer(url should be baseUrl instead of just url ;)
@DavidLednik Thanks, good catch!
