Volatile as it is, the daily deal space is still attracting new services. CityPockets, for one, offers a "digital wallet" for storing past deal offers, along with a secondary market for buying and selling discounts.

Next up, CityPockets is strengthening its iPhone and Android mobile applications with deal buying -- "so users can not only manage their daily deals from a smartphone but also buy them on the go," GigaOm explains.

Users can also now search for nearby secondary deals on their mobile app based on location and category.
