e-commerce is getting more and more popular. this creates the need of having good tools to help shoppers make right decisions while buying online. reizit.com is a place where shoppers can recommend or bury a product, share experience and discuss shopping deals.

traffic up, buying down. well, not really. guys---you are discounting mobile which probably represented 30% of the loss...those $250K for farts didnt happen last year----the real scary data comes in january when the gift card impact is more felt--expect january to be down 15% at least!!!

The nice thing about these stats is that it shows that that future isn't all doom and gloom for everybody, some win, some lose.

Anthony, good information to know. Amazon/Apple/Wal-Mart reported 6-10% increase in their revenues as the "exceptions." Most Brick and Mortar stores took a massive hit, especially with a 26% decrease in appliance/electronic sales and 23% in Women's apparel (whoa!). (Source ABC). I noticed online purchasing has been growing quickly as well. We hit a record 300% year over year in revenue increase. Seems like all the weaker retail stores are going to be eliminated soon! Cheers,
