    Groupon

    What are the chances that the person that founded Groupon was some guy on a forum that simply took the 'group buy' to a new level? It's the same thing only fancier. You may remember that Google offered him / them six billion

    I don't understand how they can't make a profit. They have never recorded a profit

          The hardest part of business is getting you idea recognized and used. The mind-share of Groupon is alone worth millions.

                The good thing about groupon is not what you make from the site, but what you can do to promote your business. You can go from completely unknown to having a lot of word of mouth buzz overnight. Just make sure you have your shit together before you unleash hell upon yourself.

                    They don't charge a percentage?
                    The groupon sites over here charge a flat rate of like 10% of the end price.

                        IIRC it's much more than 10%. And I've heard thay only 2-3% return to purchase at a non-discounted rate.

                        Levent, is the GPS groupon going national or only in your neck of the woods?
