With the 200+ million gmail email addresses that Google has access to, Google can instantly become a major competitor to Groupon & LivingSocial assuming a certain percentage of gmail users agree to try it.

It seems that each large internet company has its own deals site now: Google with Google Offers, Amazon with LivingSocial, eBay with Groupon, and Facebook seems to be developing its own type of daily-deals advertising.

I wonder what Apple and Microsoft will do. Both of them probably have something in the works....

I have several gmail addresses. Don't fall for the number hype.
