Dunkin’ Donuts takes the Spring time a great opportunity to push its iced coffee variant along with a worthy cause. Apparently, the price for a small (16 oz) cup of Iced Coffee will be reduced to 50 cents at participating Dunkin’ Donuts shops throughout the country during Dunkin’s all-day “Iced Coffee Day” event on April 21. For every small Iced Coffee purchased on this day, Dunkin’ Donuts will donate five cents to benefit Homes for Our Troops, a national, non-profit organization that builds specially adapted homes for severely injured veterans.
Dunkin’ Donuts began its partnership with Homes for Our Troops in December 2008 when the Dunkin’ Brands Community Foundation, which is dedicated to serving those who serve others – especially in times of crisis – donated $100,000 to the organization to support ten “Build Brigades.” A “Build Brigade” is a three-day construction blitz to get a house framed, install doors, windows, roof and siding. Professional trades people and volunteers will participate in more than 30 “Build Brigades” throughout the country in 2009.

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Twitter may still be tweaking its own business model, but Google has found a way to use the popular microblogging service to sell ads. The search giant has started offering marketers ad units that stream their five most recent "tweets" across the Google AdSense network.
