Groupon isn't reaching people like Zynga, Facebook, and LinkedIn can. Those three sites are, at their core, web-based through the entire business.
Groupon requires sales people linking with local businesses to offer coupons. Groupon cannot scale like those other companies. Anyone in Uganda can access Facebook by just going to Facebook.com, logging in, and start finding people. The same people in Uganda can look at the Groupon site, but they'd get no use out of it because the coupons aren't local.
