Groupon had the opportunity to sell to Google for $6B (Billion with a B) not too long ago, with Google launching offers do you think they are kicking themselves for not taking it? I know many readers of popular PR/Marketing Blog spinsucks.com thought so when Gini Dietrich wrote “My Groupon Prediction” and got me interested in the subject.

Creeping out of the woodwork it seems Google Offers Beta is now operating in several major metro Markets including NYC, Portland, OR, Oakland/East Bay, San Francisco and reportedly coming soon to Austin, Boston, Denver, Seattle and Washington D.C.

In all likelihood the entry of Google into this space may not indicate the end for Groupon, but how much is enough to satisfy the founders and investors in Groupon?
