Google getting ready to Crush Groupon

Google Offers - launching in several test markets!

Those of you that have been smoking the Groupon pipe – get ready for the shocking news.

The mass-discount provider is often cited in numerous complaints about the long-term ability of its advertisers to offer products and services cheaply.

War is on!

Groupon announced yesterday that they have hired former Google executive, Margo Georgiadis, who most recently served as Google’s vice president of global sales operations.

Google isn’t sweating much though, as it has launched Google Offers – in beta – in select markets.

These markets include Oakland/East Bay and San Francisco in California, Portland, Oregon and Uptown, Downtown and Midtown Manhattan.

Google is about to crush Groupon with Google Offers, as they have a huge advantage: data on the search habits and locations of millions of Google users.

Instead of paying billions of dollars to acquire Groupon – that foolishly rejected a $6 billion dollar offer by Google – the Internet search engine behemoth will simply build its own service.

Moral of the story: when you receive a great offer, don’t piss on it 😀
