Google Snaps Up Deal Service The Dealmap

8 Aug. 2011 | Author: Ute De Mitri | german

Whoa, the search engine giant is throwing another punch: not only is the social network project Google+ Facebook’s biggest competition while still in its test phase, but Google has now taken over the deal provider The Dealmap.

The goal behind this is quite clear: the internet giant can further expand its own service for deals, Google Offers, which has been in the beta phase and only available for few American cities. Google would then become a powerful player in the couponing market. The Dealmap, which went live just last November, already has two million users and is available online and as a mobile application for several US cities as well as London.

What makes the entire thing so interesting is that the search engine Bing, or rather its operators at Microsoft, works together with The Dealmap and other services for “Bing Deals”. The consequences of the latest Google coup should be quite interesting. According to The Dealmap, users can continue to user their website and mobile apps, and that previous partnerships will continue to be in place. In other words, Google and Microsoft will be working as indirect partners…hard to believe, right? Do the two top dogs really want that? Well, this puzzle will likely be solved quickly.
