It's no coincidence that Facebook Deals launched the same day. It's the oldest trick in the book. When a new upstart is launching a new campaign simular in nature to an already established company. The established company can steal all the thunder so to speak by launching their campaign, even if it's not ready to go. Think about this and then look at Facebook Deals, its not ready. But they received almost all the press.

As for the Patent Pending technology together with this unique platform, People Deals will be the next big thing.

Most of you reading this will probably disagree. But before you write in your opions, please do your research. People Deals Platform was designed to give the user (Business Owner) control over the coupons they put out. While cutting their marketing cost by up to 90%. Oh yeah, and they keep 100% of their revenue. Facebook Deals, Groupons, Living Social and all the others are the ulitimate middlemen that control everything and then take a percentage of the little their customers receive.

All of the Groupon like platforms brand themselves not the business they're promoting. Take the time to read some of the complaints former Groupon clients have about the service. Also check out complaints of people that purchased Groupons for services like a massage in a nearby spa. Only to walk away feeling they received sub par treatment. Or the people that buy them but when they call to make an appointment they find that the times are restricted or unavailable altogether. The Gruopons' of this world are breeding con men out of honest business owners.

This really isn't that far fetched. Just look at the testimonials on Groupons' website. Everyone of them are telling how their Groupon out performed their greatest expectations. One spa expected to sell around 200 Groupons at more than 60% discount, they sold around 1200. Groupons have experation dates. Therefore this business could possibly be force out of business if it accomadates all of these Groupons in too short of a time spand. So some move to "con man" like tactics to avoid that traggedy. This would be a legitimate marketing cost if a good amount of the Groupon users became regulars at the spa. But most likely they won't. Groupons' has created a bargin hunting craze, "Groupon Groupies" as I call them. Business can't survive using these platforms in this economy. People Deals is the answer.

Research before you reply.
