Build a Pager Using Arduino, Node.js and Twilio

Wait, the Arduino needs to hooked up to the PC via serial port?

I was going to post something along the lines of "USELESS!!!", but then again it doesn't mean it isn't a good learning exercise.

All the same, I would quite be going around touting I've created a pager.

EDIT: Also, the use of Twillo is pretty contrived here when things like GSM shields exist. http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoGSMShield
