More Like FiatDesk: CoinDesk Launches Deal Site Without Bitcoin Support

The world’s most visited Bitcoin news site has decided to implement a deal section full of ‘exclusive’ offers. The problem is, they don’t accept Bitcoin and the offers don’t appear to be exclusive.
Coindesk Deals appears to be using StackSocial, a platform that is a bit like Groupon or LivingSocial, only with a focus on software and gadgets. StackSocial also allows other sites to act as a sort of front for them and sends a kickback to the publisher for each purchase in a program called StackCommerce.
From the StackCommerce About page:
‘The StackCommerce platform is a full-service commerce solution that provides publishers a simple and effective way to generate additional revenue by organically weaving relevant commerce into the reader’s daily experience. Add a new, incremental revenue stream by offering exclusive products to your audience directly on your site.’
