I'm not sure that word "accelerating" means what you think it means.

  It's either a Red Dwarf or H2G2 gag, can't remember. "We're slowing down?" "Sort of. We were accelerating so quickly that we're now just accelerating slightly slower than we were before." My point is that Groupon is the sound of a bunch of people inflating a financial bubble. All this post-IPO bullshit about growth is intended to make it seem like they took a few hits early to get them done with, but once the dust has settled they'll be in a great position. They aggressively scaled a patchy business model and are now trying to fix it.

    Sounds like red dwarf. Good show. Sadly dry wit doesn't come across well on HN. Sorry.
