It’s no secret that LivingSocial aims to set itself apart from Groupon.
That said, it looks like the daily deals giant might be adding a new type of deal based on two new domain names it purchased this week through the registrar MarkMonitor: LivingSocialRoomService.com and LSRoomService.com.
Both domains were bought on October 4.
LivingSocial already has Escapes, for affordable weekend getaways and vacations, so it’s always possible these purchases are nothing more than part of the company’s strategy to defend its brand.
Here’s a look at the Whois record for LivingSocialRoomService.com.
