Linkfest: Starbucks Testing $1 Coffee

The good news: With growing competition from fast food rivals such as McDonalds and Dunkin' Doughnuts, Starbucks has decided to test $1 cups of coffee with free refills.

The bad news: As of now, the $1 coffee test is only taking place in Starbucks hometown of Seattle.

It's the BPP's Ramble.

Hey BPP crew-

Big fan of the show. I listen and BPP blog-troll daily.

Just thought I'd give a plug for my local paper the Cleveland Plain Dealer. This week they're doing a very interesting series on the mortgage foreclosure crisis. Cleveland has been hit REAL HARD by the crisis. It puts some different faces to the crisis than most stories. Check it out: www.cleveland.com/foreclosure.

Keep up the good work. I'll be listening.
