So I was reading the Twitter blog and I noticed something interesting. Groupon will be providing the content for Twitter's advertising venture the @earlybird feed.

The feed was announced last week, more than 48,000 Twitter members have signed up to follow 'earlybird.' Twitter explained on its site that the feed is a way to pull in revenue, but it also hopes the deals will be "interesting and of value" to 'earlybird' followers.
Groupon, which is based in Chicago but has an office in Palo Alto, will offer daily deals to their members. According to TechCrunch, Groupon has won $173 million in angel and venture funding, and Twitter has gained $160 million from investors.
