It was only a matter of time:


The Instinct team over at GetShopped.org has got something interesting cooking. They’ve written a plugin that essentially clones Groupon functionality for WordPress websites.

In case you’re not familiar with the concept, Groupon is a hugely successful deal-of-the-day website that offers localized specials for consumers in major geographic markets around the world.

Not surprising, though it misses that point that Groupon isn't Groupon because of their technology, but rather because of the community they've built. Not that it's bad for someone to offer the technology of course. It's more I'm thinking of all the people who will install it and wonder why their site isn't as popular as Groupon by the end of the week.
