Facebook today announced yet another feature of its ever-growing social network – Deals. Facebook Deals is essentially the same as Groupon and the recently launched Google Offers service, allowing users to see local deals and act on them. Facebook also made the deals easy to share with friends and the rest of the Facebook community.

How to find Deals
You can find deals on Facebook in a couple of different ways — for example, you can get deals updates through email and notifications to find out about new deals in your area. You can also check out the Deals tab of your home page. If your friends chose to share this information, you may also see the deals friends buy or like in your News Feed.

Initially, Facebook Deals will be available to users located in the following cities: Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, San Diego, and San Francisco, but the social network hopes to expand to other cities in the future.
