Saving Money with Groupons

Ironically, I've been on usenet for a very long time, and
never once seen anyone whine about anything they call
"Referral Spam."

I guess some idiots just aren;'t happy unless they're
bitching about something...

Emailing google is a waste of time. All it gets is an automated
response expressing disinterest in what its butt-ignorant users do. I
sent a copy of the spam directly to Groupon. Of course there's no reason
to believe it'll give a rat's beehind, either. Sleaze seems to be the
commercial (and cultural) standard nowadays.


Most people have acknowledged that Groupon's business model is flawed
and ripe for fierce competition. They likely collapse in about 18 to 24
months.

Another issue with Groupon's customers is that those who are loyal to a
business who advertises on Groupon can't get the 50% deals, they go find
another business.

Businesses that use Groupon to grow, just lose loyal patrons at the
other end.

I discovered Usenet in 1982, and I've seen LOTS of references to
referral spam.

Show yourself. Search for the phrase "referral spam." It also comes
up as "referral spam."

Whoopsie, that last should be "referrer spam."
