Hey Venky,

Thanks for the explanation. I'm still deciding whether to switch to Plivo
or to Verboice (https://bitbucket.org/instedd/verboice/wiki/Home) which
uses Twiml and Asterisk/FreeSwitch. Both seem like cool projects

I just found out about Plivo, it looks awesome and am looking at using<br>
it as an alternative to Twilio for my app. Just a question though, why<br>
use Plivo RESTXML instead of Twiml? Using Twiml would make porting<br>
applications that are already on Twilio so much easier. I understand<br>
that there are now probably a number of applications written for Plivo<br>
RESTXML so you would have to still support it but what would the<br>
community think about the development of a gem which allows you to<br>
write your apps in Twiml? E.g. similar to if you use the haml gem for<br>
a rails app. If this would be a welcome addition I&#39;ll go ahead and<br>
build a gem for Twiml support.<br>
