Good deal: Groupon opens first physical store

E-commerce just dropped the letter "e," with Groupon setting up its first retail store in the heart of Singapore.

The store is an avenue for shoppers to redeem their purchased goods instantly, Groupon Singapore CEO Karl Chong told CNET Asia during the official launch. It's also a way for the company to get to know its customers.

The shop has three computer terminals, as well as a handful of Apple iPads, where customers can browse, buy, and print deals on the spot. However, only physical goods can be redeemed at the store in the Suntec City Mall. … Read more

iOS finally gets native Google Offers app

Google Offers, at its core, is not really much different from any deal site (Groupon, Living Social). Users sign up for daily email offers from local businesses willing to give potential customers heavy discounts to become patrons of their establishments.

The only real difference, until recently, was that Google did not have a native iOS app for users to easily browse, organize, and use their purchased deals.

Excusing the ugly app icon that gets completely sucked into the iPhone's display, the Google Offers app is actually quite nice. Once you sign in to your Google Offers account (or start … Read more

Buy Groupons from your phone

With the Groupon app for Android, you can not only sift through local daily deals, but you can also manage your profile, keep track of Groupons you've already purchased, and sift through rewards from some of your favorite retailers.

The app starts you off with a list of featured deals … Read more

Woot founder resigns from Amazon

Woot founder and CEO Matt Rutledge resigned today from Amazon, saying that he didn't fit in at the giant online retailer, which bought his daily deal site two years ago.

Rutledge launched the Texas-based Woot.com in 2004, selling just one item per day until it sold out. The items that were sold were mainly tech-related, including computers, digital cameras, and various toys. The company later expanded into other areas, including wine, user-designed T-shirts, and products for children.

Rutledge said his goodbye to the Woot team in the honest, witty manner that the site as become known for:
