  5. Google guys keep pushing the envelope. It is amazing how easily they integrate the key drivers for user growth through organic additions. Couponing electronically is a humungous opportunity and google is bang on. We will see how cellfire responds to this broadside.

  6. Hi Ram

    Yea they can drive growth whenever they choose…I think that in the Coupon area we are just seeing the first inklings of their efforts…

    Cellfire appears to be approaching this issue from the other end of the spectrum and we have as yet to see how and when Google might try to push these out to cell phones…Goog-411 might offer an interesting platform for that?

  7. Thanks for sharing. Is it limited for the US or also available at the international level?

    I have seen it in Google Canada but I don’t know if coupons are available internationally. It appears from the Google press release about Coupons that they are not available internationally.

    Google has partnered with Valpak, one of the leading direct marketing companies in North America, to provide coupons from current Valpak advertisers on Google Maps. These coupons include savings from local businesses throughout the United States

    If you discover otherwise I would love to know.
