Last week, daily deals giant Groupon registered a bunch of domain names with 'groupongoods' in them (.com, .net, .us, .info, .biz and interestingly, .fr). Evidently, securing those domain names doesn't necessarily mean the company is going to debut a service by the name 'Groupon Goods' soon or even in the distant future, but let's hypothesize for a moment that this is exactly what they're planning to do.Imagine if Groupon starts instructing its vast sales forces, which are located all around the world, to start focusing on opportunities other than restaurants, spas, massages and pilates classes. Or if they end seeking mutually beneficial partnerships with companies like Alice.com, Drugstore.com, Pets.com, Overstock.com or Newegg.com in order to branch out into selling discounted groceries, households items, consumer electronics and whatnot.
