LivingSocial Middle East says its registered users have been growing by 30% to 50% per month. Of these registered users, some were shopping online for the very first time. “With the exceptions of ordering food and apparels, which you have to try on, most other goods can be purchased without being present in a shop. And with rapid technological advancement, such as the use of Microsoft’s Kinect motion technology, even this could change,” said LivingSocial managing director Dan Stuart.
