I actually was thinking that it would be of more value to someone who does not already have the platform with readers (theoretically, you could just add a shopping cart functionality and run the deals yourself if you have the platform) but I may be wrong? I am thinking it could be valuable for discounts that might run more like group deals (places like zoos, and small businesses that are harder to find the larger deal site deals for). The hope with this models is that it is a different revenue model for merchants, so they tell you what they can afford to offer, and hopefully make it less difficult to get merchants on board - but you are absolutely correct - that is the hardest part!!

Which you do but even so the work to get merchants on board is time consuming killing any profits. Just my opinion. They have something like this for schools call msndeals or something like that where you pool your resources and show the same deal without having to get every one of the deals. The money goes toward your school then. Looks like a lot of work unless you have a platform with lots of readers.
