Is there any project out there that uses twillio and node to let phones chat with a client in the browser? or forwards SMS messages to xmpp and then forwards xmpp back to twilio? I've been looking for an hour or so and I can't seem to find a project that does this. I've found some services that would let me build it, but I'd rather not recreate the wheel here.
Hmm, don't know of anything out of the box, but that would make a good open source hack for our dev blog. If you're looking at using Twilio with node, you might want to check out my client module on npm. If you want to play with it:
npm install twilio

EDIT: You might check out this example app as well for Google App Engine:
