#2I'll probably give away karma by saying so, but where is the interest in this article? I'm not saying that groupon is not an interesting model, but this article is basically a press release, stuffed with some utterly baseless claims like "how we will all probably be shopping in the future, i.e. socially"
Based on what? This is fluff. I work in retail technology, e-commerce, etc. and there are many interesting changes happening. But this kind of meaningless puff piece is just noise.
edit: also annoyed by the summary including "features a daily deal on the best stuff to do, see, eat, and buy in more than 150 cities around the world". Yeah. Where "around the world" means "around North America".

#4If for no other reason, the daily deals is quite great, and it alone could keep me coming back for a pageview or two a day. It has my attention as an "upscale" competition to woot.com.
