A few weeks back I shared a note about LivingSocial's Amazon deal. My intention was less about sharing a great deal, and more about demonstrating the volume of redemption taking place in this new social commerce space. Yesterday LivingSocial went global. In a great way. Their offer (which has been extended for a two day period vs the normal 24 hours) is a 100% match of your $5 donation to the Red Cross on behalf of the victims of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. As of the time I'm writing this, LivingSocial members have given nearly $900,000 and with the matching contribution, they are on their way to $2 Million. One of the best deals yet!
