Groupon Invades Europe With Acquisition Of Citydeal

"Citydeal first launched in January, raised €4 million in funding, and now has offers in 80 European cities. They have over a million subscribers to their daily deals, says Mason, compared to about 5 million for Groupon. Citydeal’s 600 employees will join Groupon’s 300 or so, and the combined company will now operate in 18 countries and 140 cities."

These group buying sites are popping up everywhere. Their offers are actually converting quite well. Will be interesting to see how this space evolves....

Groupon is geo specific and service oriented related, I've never seen a generic product listed on there. And apparently the waiting list to get your business coupon run is a few months deep for most cities.
