I think a ‘groupon’ sounds likes like some sort of parasite that locks onto unsuspecting groups and steals their souls… which might be accurate as it turns out.

“Each day, Groupon emails you one exclusive, unbeatable deal on the best things to do, see, eat, and buy in Cincinnati.” At least that is what their site says.

I have been waiting to see Groupons in action for a while now and this week they came through for me, publishing their first offers for Cincinnati. Today’s offer was for a yoga studio. I like yoga. I like 50% off. I am not sure I like the location of the offer, but I am certainly going to stay tuned. Any day now they could offer a Groupon for someplace I love or have been meaning to try, and this will be the thing that converts me from a window shopper to a buyer. It’s kind of exciting. In a really nerdy way.

Why buy a lawnmower/ladder/belt sander when you can just borrow one from your neighbors? What’s that? You stay inside on the internets all day and don’t know any of your neighbors? Well you are in luck, because NeighborGoods is here for you. Check it out! (And get some vitamin D while you’re at it.)
