Groupon’s Frist Grouponicus Music Deal Is On: Get Rihanna’s New Album For $5

As previously announced, Groupon is kicking off the holiday season today with its 'Grouponicus' deals. Interestingly, one of the first up is ... a deal for recorded music, namely Rihanna's fifth studio album, 'LOUD'. Groupon will no doubt turn out to be a massive distribution channel for the singer: the album is being offered to U.S. users as a $5 digital download, knocking 50 percent of the normal price, and will be featured in an email to millions of Groupon subscribers across the country. The Grouponicus Store formally opened for the season at 12 AM Eastern Time today.

looks like Groupon will survive a Facebook invasion into their market by eventually selling out to someone like Yahoo....Foursquare on the hand I think will be severely impacted by "Places" going into this territory....

I agree, Monal -- it's kind of surprising to me that Foursquare hasn't made more moves in this direction.
