Isn't the chart on the top of the page misleading? I think just about anyone would think on first glance that Groupon's revenue had ~tripled month-over-month.

"Techcrunch speculates on revenue numbers, gets caught."<p>Am I reading this right?

Groupon, by the nature of it's business takes in a lot of revenue. But it doesn't keep most of it. Much of that money is paid out to the business running the promotion. Maybe someone else knows the approximate split?<p>Revenue has some bearing on Groupon's ability to generate profit, but revenue is a vanity metric.

It would be nice to know two more numbers. 1. How much profit each employee brings in? 2. How efficient the capital is spent vs generated profit?
