Is there some unwritten rule that Google has to expand into all areas of the web? It's a tall order that they can't possibly fill. (Buzz et all have proven that.)<p>Why do they need to compete with Groupon? Why don't they just make search kick more ass? (And no I don't mean clutter it up with more knobs/switches and social bullshit. I mean win the war against the SEO gamers.)
Google won't be able to break into the market. They are late to the game. Has anyone heard anything about Facebook Offers? Google is good at three things: acquiring startups, email, and search.<p>It is like Google has ADD.
