Aol's Wow Shutters, Directs Deal Hunters to Patch

Aol's daily-deal site Wow shut down as of Friday, July 29. When users visit Wow.com, a message directs them to Patch.com for "hyperlocal deals."

Consumers who already bought "Wowchers" have until Dec. 31, 2011 to print them. All coupons will remain valid through their expiration date.
