Groupon: Groupon is an online community that offers a daily discount on a certain product or service in your city. This service is currently provided for more than 150 U.S. cities, as well as several cities in more than 23 other countries. With a free account, users will receive a daily e-mail reminder about the deal, which could be a discount at a restaurant, bar, clothing store, or any other business. This even extends into the healthcare industry, as FierceHealthcare reports this week that about 15 percent of the daily deals are for healthcare services.
