Congratulations to Aniss Bouraba for his Text2Play application making Programmable Web’s Mashup of the Day!  Text2Play is an example in how to use Comet to build a real time web application. With Text2Play you can control the YouTube player by Searching, Playing, or Pausing a video via SMS.

This application is simply amazing!  You can send a text message (SMS) to 1-347-318-0167 with one of the following paramaters and control the YouTube video playing in your browser!

  • Play: Plays the currently video.
  • Pause: Pauses the currently playing video.
  • Query: Specifies a full-text query string.

If you want to load another video please send your query as message and it will be shown in real time. Here is an example of what it looks like using SMS.

Aniss, You Rock!
