I read and totally agree & believe on this:
"Fab’s founders sound undeterred, anyway. “Our margins are much higher than a fashion site and we don’t deal with seasonality or liquidation,” says Goldberg. “A lot of people are going to turn around six months from now and see we are the fastest growing business in the space, period.”
Fab's daily emails are full of interesting products, so even if I don't buy something for a while I don't feel like I wasted any time browsing. With groupon, I found their emails annoying so I unsubscribed.
The transition from a gay networking site to a design deals company has been amazingly fast.
