Groupon's big MLB deal is good news for battered tech firm, bad news for LivingSocial

Groupon CEO Andrew Mason's "the plane crash is much more interesting than the safe landing" comment yesterday probably didn't exactly help sales for his company's vacations product, Groupon Getaways. However, his Chicago-based firm Thursday (Nov. 29) seems to be enjoying a cleaner run with its events product, GrouponLive, after announcing it's the official digital deals platform for Major League Baseball.

MLB teams in the past have tested various deals providers, including Groupon competitor LivingSocial. Now, the ball clubs will seemingly go through Groupon only.
