The Royal Treatment at Cupcake Royale, Seattle

Image by Groupon
It was my first Groupon redemption ever — and we had a great time! I got
over 20 people together to celebrate the holidays at Cupcake Royale in
Bellevue, WA, taking advantage of the recent "1 dozen gourmet cupcakes deal
for half-price" that Groupon advertised. Attached is a photo of us
enjoying the wonderful deal together. And we have to sincerely thank the
staff of Cupcake Royale, too, for their hospitality. They were awesome,
made us feel right at home, and most importantly seemed to really
appreciate our business. We’ll be back, now that we’ve tried their wares!

– Summizer. A Twitter search app. I don’t use it much since those features are built into other apps.
– Twitterrific. I mostly got this for the iPad since most of the Twitter apps haven’t been ported to the iPad yet.
– Buzzie. An app for reading Google Buzz. I find I just usually use the Web page above, though.
– Seesmic. Lets you post to a bunch of different social networks. That’s why I keep using it.
