Just yesterday I was sharing my opinion on how I though Groupon missed a big opportunity by rejecting Google’s buyout, primarily because I think Google will be able to enter the market and succeed just as well (if not better). Now, before the dust even settled on that debate, there’s news out that Facebook might be entering the mix too – albeit slightly differently. But with Facebook’s 500 million users, you can deny that this has some serious implications (and validation) of the social buying phenomenon.
