It's more impressive when companies add people to their board who add a
perspective other than the entrenched (dare I say evil) mindset of their
competition. An example: Chipotle adding Bill Niman, an advocate against
factory farming, fast food and cheap meat. A good move for Groupon would be to
add someone who speaks for small businesses--the main Groupon customers--
instead of a major corporation.
