Mashable writes an accompanying story looking at how Groupon may deal with Google Offers. http://mashable.com/2011/01/21/google-offers-groupon/
After the rejection Google announces its new website - Google Offers, its version of Groupon. http://mashable.com/2011/01/20/google-offers/
Even though Groupon said no Mashable wants to know what readers would have done. 41.2% of voters would have taken the $6 Billion. http://mashable.com/2010/12/04/google-groupon-poll/
Groupon says no to Google's offer opting to stay independent and make $2 Billion a year on their own. http://mashable.com/2010/12/03/groupon-google-no/
