Loopt-Groupon Now Smartphone App – Iq187 Tech Talk #4

Groupon is also looking to partner up with Foursquare’s wildly popular daily deals service with checkins this would improve Groupon’s scale with all the local merchants.

BTW did you know that Groupon has saved people almost 2 billion dollars already? Let me know if your going to use Groupon Now and your take on it in the comment box bellow and please subscribe to my channel. Until …
