I thought the same. But who am I to judge them for their choices. If they can live with it (maybe even they have really fun working on their coupon aggregator)

I thought the same. But who am I to judge them for their choices. If they can live with it (maybe even they have really fun working on their coupon aggregator) then why not. Now I'm not sure about the sustainability of that business model. Investors seem to pump money into it because of Groupon's "success" but I'm skeptical if the group coupon hype will persist for more than the next 2 years. I'd squeeze all the money I can out of the groupon thing and prepare to start another startup in some time.
