Yesterday Robert Scoble tweeted that he’d been invited to a press conference with Facebook:
The rumours started circulating that this may be an attempt by facebook to integrate a Groupon style system which they’re going to call “Facebook Deals”?
Well, this morning I found confirmation of this – direct from Facebook:
A holding page on the Facebook site announces that Facebook Deals is in fact coming and will be a way to find restaurants, shows and “group activities” to share with friends:
You’ll be able to find check-in deals using iPhone, Android and Windows Phone 7 and by integrating with Bing maps, you can use the service to find deals near you.
Stay tuned for more information following the press conference!
