Discount sharing sites like Groupon and Living Social have become very well-liked in the last few years. Individuals that use the products can save some money with them. However, an increasing number of companies and customers are coming to question the worth of such websites, which have become stock market darlings.

that article about the person that booked 301 sessions...HAHAHAHA BURN!!!!

Groupon DOES have some sweet offers, for me though! just paid $20 which includes $12 cover fee to the club we're going to for my friends bachelorette, as well as a $40 drink voucher at the club. SUPER good deal. also got my hair cut and styled, and an eyebrow wax for $25 at a really nice salon in town.

Well I guess if you are desperate or just starting out it might be a tool to help get some exposure or new customers but for seasoned pros it might make them look cheap.
