IE9 Offers & 100,009 Reasons to Use IE9 with Pinned Sites

We earlier outlined nine reasons why you should use IE9 for business. Now, Groupon provides 100,000 more reasons to use IE9.

Groupon features daily deals on the best stuff to do, see, eat, and buy in thousands of cities worldwide. Since inventing the local daily deal model in November 2008, they?ve helped millions of customers explore their cities at a huge discount. They built a pinned site experience and they are offering $5 in reward for the first 100,000 to try it out. Here is Sumir Meghani of Groupon talking about how they built it:

HOW TO TRY THE NEW GROUPON EXPERIENCE AND RECEIVE $5
