High Hopes for Cyber Monday
And according to a survey conducted by Shop.org, 72 million Americans are expected to shop online today. It is not clear from the survey if those people will actually be making purchases, or just browsing.
CrunchGear lists some of today’s CyberDeals here. Even Google Checkout is getting in on the deal action, offering discounts at online retailers who use Checkout. BowlingBall.com or Cufflinks Depot, anyone? I didn’t think so.
Update: Seems like some e-tailers can’t handle the online stampede. Yahoo’s checkout system is suffering outages, and Sears’ site is down altogether. (Anyone noticing any other outages or slowdowns today, please report in comments).
Update 2: ComScore reports that online sales for Cyber Monday came in at $733 million, based on its panel.
