Well, it depends on if you want new or old first. Cut the Rope 2 just launched on ios and android, so we could try that. Alternatively, we could try older games. My personal favorite from ios was a game called Arulex (I'll double check when I get home on my old iPhone). I also think Pintrest and Snapchat are really the only two big social medias left, so there's that. A lot of banking apps are missing still. One last thing we could do is to get companies who allow devs to cross-platform port like MobileRoadie.

So coip, since you started this movement, do you want to:
A) get older, but still used games (they usually have more money to port)
B) attract newer games (probably a more appealing option for the platform, but less likely since they'll have less money)
C) go for banks
D) social media apps
E) go for cross-platform developer companies that make smaller, but still official and used, apps

My personal pick is C

Yeah, I would agree with you about targeting C. Banks for now because my preference for games, being a huge fan of Xbox, would be to use the #SaveXboxWP hashtag to cajole games developers, and reserve the #MobileEquality hashtag for more mainstream apps. So, let's come up with a list of major banks missing WP apps.

So I found a top 10 list and the top 3 that I think we should focus on are Capitol One, Citybank, and PNC. Citybank (owned by Citigroup) is the biggest one.

Hey, guys, I'm the one who runs the account fyi. I just found some placeholder pictures online so if someone has any graphical ability for a basic twitpic, it would be appreciated. I can't draw a stick figure correctly so I'm not going to even attempt it ;)

Alright, guys, I've changed it to whatever app now. I'll just have to tweet a lot. I've tweeted everyone's suggestions. Make sure to retweet and sent your own tweets.
