Every day there’s “something cool to do at an unbeatable price” (i.e. a coupon), but, in order for you to get the offer, enough people must sign up for it (that’s the group part). It’s a localized service, so there one “something cool” for each location.

I’ve been meaning to sign up for Groupon for a while, despite my cutting down on the number of web services I sign up for. I knew that DC was one of the locations.

It’s actually better, and more local, than that. Three months ago, Groupon introduced hyperlocality, starting in the DC area. What does that mean?

It means that our own Montgomery County, MD, gets its own Groupon every day. There are currently two other DC-area Groupon regions: Northern VA, and DC itself.
