                                    Facebook is expanding its discount shopping service to five European countries and Canada as part of its push to help brands communicate with its users, Reuters reports in this video.
                                    But Facebook’s aggressive pursuit of local-business revenue through special promotions and branding opportunities sounds a lot like the business strategy employed by Groupon. With hundreds of millions of users
                                        already in place to take advantage of the service, could ‘Facebook Deals’ be the app that kills Groupon?
