Probably a wise move if you're making $0.5 billion/year 2 years after inception. They should be careful though, they don't have the kind of lock-in that many big Internet companies do. You could easily compete with them.

I get near daily emails from the local newspaper website (San Diego Union Tribune) and from a local weekly paper the Reader... both send out different "Daily deals", not the mention Channel 10's local website daily deals too..

I have never signed up for groupon because I just don't believe i can handle the deluge of daily deals from so many places.

Yeah, besides being first mover and the associated brand recognition, I don't know what competitive advantages Groupon really has. Especially when sites like http://www.sandiegosaves.net/ are able to "aggregate" the deals from all the daily deal websites.
