While I see the logic behind this, I really think it is flawed. Just because Groupon is growing faster than Google did doesn't mean it has a chance to match Google's total growth. One important thing you left out is timing. When Google started, it was neigh impossible to get to where they have reached without some massive luck. What does that have to do with Groupon and their growth? It seems like every new company that hits the scene, is deemed the next big thing and has a meteoric rise. They come faster, and get bigger, but does that mean they are going to eclipse the giants on the scene? Not without some spectacular luck and smart moves. There are few companies that have planted themselves where Google is, and I don't know if Groupon has the potential or leadership to make it happen. I wouldn't be disappointed to see it happen, but it just seems like high expectations on an over valued company.
