If You Can’t Buy Groupon…Compete with Them?!?
Rumor has it that a Groupon competitor is on its way from Google and is in alpha right now! After being rejected on a $6 billion buy offer from Groupon, it looks like Google will launch its own competitor product.
Google is preparing to launch Google Offers, the search giant’s Groupon competitor, Mashable has learned.
We have the documents to prove it — one of our sources has sent us a confidential fact sheet straight from the Googleplex about the company’s new group buying service.
“Google Offers is a new product to help potential customers and clientele find great deals in their area through a daily email,” the fact sheet says.
From what we can tell, Google Offers will be powered by Google Checkout. It also includes Facebook, Twitter, Google Reader, Google Buzz and e-mail sharing options.
The search giant clearly isn’t giving this market up without a fight, though. With its vast reach, huge resources and brand recognition, it could prove to be a powerful player in the space.
Google essentially confirms Google Offers is real. It looks like Google Offers is in the testing phases, though.
