Online Spending Tops $100 Billion in 2006
For the first time in history annual online spending topped $100 billion. Online shopping during the holidays rose 26 percent over sales during the same period in 2005. And the Monday after Thanksgiving this year was nothing unusual, as it was surpassed on 11 other days before the end of the year by greater sales.
Hopefully this will put an end to those people who still believe shopping online is only being done by techie types. 2006 was the new 1999, except this time it was for real.
