On a related topic, for those who use Facebook as their forum platform, note all the spam!
There's the $67/hour spam posts along with all the link spam in the CNN article discussion thread - surely one would think Facebook's filters would catch much of that nonsense, but guess not. Anyways, Facebook's forum platform is junk - so limited and poorly laid out, but I digress.
As for Groupon - as many others have pointed out before, it's not overly unique - low barrier to entry to competitors.
It's no wonder some merchants use sneaky tactics to jackup the price, such as what FTD did, during Groupon promotions. Groupon is very expensive for merchants who, in essence, not only have to cover the discount they're offering, but also must send Groupon a cut of that ... a double whammy.
