  Aaand here we go. (100€ darauf, dass ein Sommerlochthema 2011 „die neue Internet-Blase“ sein wird.)

While it’s easy to see how a company like Groupon is successful in a recession, he contends that ultimately it gives people “the same old stuff cheaper” and that’s not good enough to be considered authentic value.“
