Websites offering deals on a daily basis are popping up all over the place. In Russia, the strategy is apparently to copy the entire website design and business model of one of the most promising companies in this space, Groupon , while in Germany Daily Deal battles with City Deal and the UK has more than its share of group buying websites. But it's not like the concept isn't catching on and 'inspiring' opportunistic entrepreneurs in the United States as well - much to the contrary, there's been a surge of new daily deals websites in those parts too over the past couple of weeks alone.
