Minor nitpick - how is Groupon at all similar to Woot?
- klochner 16y agoThe business model is to offer one deal per day, getting eyeballs on the deal via a massive opt-in mailing list. They're only really different in that Woot is for tangible goods and Groupon is for local services.
- timcederman 16y agoThey're only really different in that Woot sells a physical product (they don't promote a business), they ship it themselves, and make a profit on it like a regular store. The only way that they're at all similar is one possible thing to purchase per day. Otherwise they're completely different.
- klochner 16y agoWe're saying the same thing, just disagreeing on whether it constitutes similarity.
