Facebook Group Deals

What would be more exciting than just an internal GroupOn clone that Facebook is currently exploring, would be dynamically generating these offers. Here’s how it could work:

  • Users talk about a particular product – a place, a thing, a service –  and they are encouraged to tag it in a post/comment.
  • Facebook tracks these events, shows the data to the product provider,  who purchases a deal or advertising for one.
  • (Facebook can use existing advertising data to guesstimate what a good deal would look like.)

This way, users are incentivized to connect with product, Facebook takes a cut, and businesses reward existing customers while acquiring new ones.
