Groupon Clone

Doing some research into ways to get a “daily deals” website online, much like the famous groupon.com site. There are quite a few out there now, and a number of options if you want to create your own. It seems the lifecycle is still early enough that many providers are charging $1k+ for a reasonable usability, but often limited to a single instance etc.

Looking into open source options, I’ve only so far found a chinese one called “open groupon” (I’m sure the name will need to be changed ;). Testing it out now, and looks ok but a little rough in some areas. It’ll be interesting to see what comes out next around this type of app, I’m sure the OS community is hammering away at this and there will be 20 different clones out by year’s end.

Add any good options you’ve found in the comments below, I’d like any feedback I can on this.
