1. Mark Suster covered this yesterday in his broadcast, now available on his blog @ http://bit.ly/9uJWWf. Great weekly show if you didn't catch it.

From his post. Wow…$180K per day in revenues for LivingSocial.

“We discussed whether investing in the second largest player in a category makes sense given that Groupon is 10x the revenue, 3.5x the funding and market coverage.  But LivingSocial is reportedly doing around $180,000 per day in gross revenue.  Yes, that’s right.  Per day!  If this figure is accurate – it’s certainly a very large business even when you look at net revenues.”

2. And from TechCrunch: “A TC Teardown: What makes Groupon Tick” @ http://tcrn.ch/cBofey. Great look at the numbers.

Actually, it was a fun deep dive. Literally scores of players on the social side, many more like Lifebooker Loot on the deal/non-social side (a great service btw) and then the aggregators like Yipit that strip through the web for all deals and push them to you.

It's a wild land grab for our email addresses and bookmarks. At the end, the customer will benefit and it is anyone's guess who will surface above the dust on the deal distribution side.

It's also deeply instructive to understand how to connect community and commerce which to date, is still a concept outside of these services.
