    I thought group buy sites are soooooo 2010. This is supposed to be the year of deal guide guides!!!

    Btw I have also noted that Groupon/StarDeals have been advertising heavily on OzBargain (via Google). They are well founded company and I doubt many small operators can compete with them. Many have to cut the margins (down to 10%-20% I think) so maybe we will see more consolidation later this year.

      yeah thats right Scotty. Groupon are one of the biggest Adwords spenders in the USA. They had 3 times the amount of subscribers as Living Social, but since Living Social started its Amazon partnership and Superbowl ads they've had to go into other media as well.

    wow, you mean we haven't reached saturation point yet? O_o

    surely there can only be so many players in this market… and while as a consumer i'm happy to consider any offers/deals that are placed before me, i don't see many decent deals coming from the majority of these group buying sites (of course this is all subjective / dependent on one's tastes and preferences etc). scoopon, spreets, cudo and ourdeal are about the only ones that have tempted me to part with my money.
