Twilio is pretty fun. I made a App.net client using it that allows you to Post/View updates over SMS.

I also wrote a catfacts clone which is up on my github too.

It definitely is!

In ~20 LOC, students that may know the basics of programming can do something really cool and learn to:

* Use real-world services

* Read through documentation

* Use a REST API

* Expose themselves to async programming.

I'm going to start writing more of these sorts of tutorials in the future =]
