Groupon launches a partnership with Foursquare


Groupon Inc. has launched a long-expected partnership with mobile social-media site Foursquare.

GrouponNow, the daily deal company’s location-based and time-limited offers, will appear on Foursquare, Chicago-based Groupon said on its blog Friday.

Foursquare offers its own discounts with merchants to users who check in at businesses using its mobile-phone app. But the New York-based company recently created partnerships with Groupon competitors LivingSocial, Gilt City, AT&T Interactive, BuyWithMe and Zozi.
