Please Help Me Identify These Cupcakes
Next week I will be in San Francisco and I am looking forward to stopping by the Twitter office. I am hoping to meet with the Twitter team and film a short video interview. I’d like to learn more about the technology, expansion plans, international services, etc. Since my previous support requests went completely unanswered I have no idea how to schedule a meeting so I plan to just stop by.
I am also very interested in getting added to the default list (also known as the suggested user list). We all know that getting on that list means bigtime pageviews and book deals. I am totally ready as I have added more servers to CN and already have a title for my book.
In speaking with the community, there appears to be several ways to get on the default list. They include:
- being a celebrity – this one won’t work for me unless you count the time I was on the news for capturing video footage of a man who fell onto the subway tracks or the time I won the big pool at Rainbow Bowling in Brooklyn back in 1991.
- fluffage – per my policy, fluffing Twitter won’t work
- FOT (friends of Twitter) – I don’t know the team yet but want to certainly build a true friendship and start with my visit next week
- cupcakes – here it is!
I love me some cupcakes and it appears the Twitter team does as well. One Twitter user purchased cupcakes and then visited the Twitter office – shortly thereafter she became a default user. Please view the cupcake delivery video and help me understand where she purchased the cupcakes – it looks like Kari’s Cupcakes? I’d like to get the same cupcakes to maximize the potential for list addition.
So please help me identify the cupcakes in the image below – and help me get on the default list!
Unlike many of the others on the list who just pimp their own links, I have devised a split plan that will help everyone. The plan is to share CN links 25% of the time, CN reader links 50% of the time and charity links 25% of the time.
I plan to post updates as we move closer to the meeting date. Thanks for your help!
great idea – looks like chocolate cupcakes
Allen,
Don’t forget your Entrepreneur magazine interview too :) Or doesn’t print media count towards celebrity-ness?
Good Luck!
Thanks for the reminder Donna!
Cupcakes are so Web 1-point-oh.

Something like this will get you In-Like-Flynn:

Dear Twitter Team,
You are such Hunky[bar] guys. (blacked out the c in Chunky)
I just wanted to Take 5 [bar] minutes to tell you
how Special[bar] you are to me. (Special Dark Hershey’s)
I couldn’t find greater friends if I searched all
across the Milky Way[bar]. I would follow
you anywhere, even to Mars[bar]. If you
ever Crunch[bar] my heart, (Nestle Crunch)
I know I would fall to Pieces[bar] (Reese’s Pieces)
I hope this card makes you Snicker[bar] (s blacked out)
and have a wonderful day!
This letter is sealed with a Kiss[bar]. (Hershey’s kiss)
Love,
Allen

Allen,
I saw your post about not being on the “default list”.
I feel sooo sorry for you.
I have decided (out of the goodness of my heart to add you to MY “Default List”.
Known as the “DL.”
Just send several dozen cupcakes and other goodies to me at:
Pat O’Mahony, 1506 Versailles Drive, Richardson, Tx 75081.
I look forward to putting you on the “DL”.
