Cyber Monday: Where the Deals Are
Did you start your holiday shopping on Black Friday? A lot of people did, but they weren't all lined up outside stores at 4AM. comScore reports that Black Friday saw "$595 million in online sales, making it the second heaviest online spending day to date in 2009 and representing an 11-percent increase versus Black Friday 2008." Meanwhile, 195 million U.S. shoppers visited stores and websites this past weekend, 13% more than last year, reports Financial Armageddon--but "average spending fell nearly 8% to $343.31 per person, the lowest level in four years, while overall sales were up only 0.5% versus last year's total. In sum, it looks like a lot more people came out to cherry pick the biggest bargains--but not much else."
Bloggers Dig Into Tiger Woods Weirdness
The Tiger Woods story keeps getting stranger, and bloggers have all kinds of questions. X17 Online reports that Woods has retained an attorney and wonders whether his wife Elin Nordegren will get her own. Tiger's reputed mistress and cause of the fight, Rachel Uchitel, denied an affair but "[s]ources contradict Uchitel's account, however, saying she's claimed flings not only with Woods but with actor David Boreanaz, and that her mother has told friends her daughter has dated New York Yankee players Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez." The cops are trying to get a warrant, "allowing them to seize medical records from the hospital that treated Tiger Woods," says TMZ, "in an attempt to determine if the wounds Woods sustained are consistent with a car accident or domestic violence."
