Rumors of a Google Groupon acquisition are circling through the blogosphere and for good reason. Groupon CEO Andrew Mason’s Twitter account does reveal some interesting activity, namely a vaguely implicit conversation had with Google M&A lead Neeraj Arora back in September.
The exchange doesn't mean that Google acquired Groupon two months ago, however it’s interesting to note that the ongoing dialogue between the companies has been public since then. Mason’s end statement “thanks – gotta leave some for the rest of us :-)” alludes to Google and Groupon possibly going after the same third party company, with Groupon in the lead. This is also around the same time that a rumored Yahoo deal fell apart. [TechCrunch]
