Google Launches Limited Version of "Google Offers" Coupon Service

 

We recently found out that Google was readying a Groupon clone called Google Offers, and it looks like they've already started releasing the service (albeit in a
limited format). To see offers, you can just do a Google search for coupons site:maps.google.com intitle:Google Offers to see the 41,500 results already available. If you'd like to see coupons available near you, there is an iGoogle gadget that can search by location. The deals aren't anything spectacular like Groupon or other similar services, but it's a nice gadget to stick in your iGoogle and check out when deciding where to go for lunch that day. Obviously, there will be quite a few more deals once Google officially launches the service, too. Hit the link to read more. [via TechCrunch]
