Facebook to start discounted offers service


Facebook Inc is planning to test a service that will let consumers buy discounted one-time offers as it looks for new ways to boost sales and attract local business customers.

The service will let people share discounted offers with their friends, Facebook said in an e-mailed statement. Part of the company's Deals program, the service will be introduced first in five cities, includingAtlanta, San Francisco, San Diego, Dallas and Austin, Texas.

"Local businesses will be able to sign up to use this feature soon, and people will be able to find Deals in the coming weeks," the Palo Alto, California-based company said in the statement.
