I'm a Groupon'er, heavily.

I don't think it's worth $25 billion though. I have a theory that sites like Groupon are going to hinder brand loyalty and mess with pricing structures and businesses and consumers haven't yet seen this. Give it a little bit longer and when businesses aren't retaining because the person is jumping onto the next pedicure coupon place - they will start to notice that the 30-50% cut they gave Groupon might not have been worth it.
