I was out of state visiting family over the holidays but still managed to catch wind of this one on CNBC black friday. It appears that Wal-Mart’s website went down due to heavy traffic and slow pageload times. There are no estimates as to how much revenue was lost during the outage but with wal-mart.com […]
Cyber Monday
Did you know that 84% of online retailers will be running major promotions today (the Monday following Thanksgiving)? Due to the economic downturn we find ourselves in this holiday season some of these retailers are depending on strong holiday sales for their mere survival. It is for this reason I think that this years online […]
MySpace Profile 2.0
This weekend I took the opportunity to play with MySpace Profile 2.0 and I have to admit it’s not half bad. MySpace is still a far cry in terms of social networking compared to Facebook in my opinion but the innovations that I have seen in Profile 2.0 could help it earn a little bit […]

In exchange, the developers applications will be awarded an official facebook stamp of approval badge and priority listing […]
Verizon Leaks Obama’s Phone Records
Wow, talk about a breach of security. Apparently some Verizon employees are out of a job following their exploits of dipping into President-Elect Barrack Obama’s cell phone records. I just can’t imagine someone’s mindset thinking that they could get away with something like this. All I can say is that I hope they didn’t jeopardize […]
SEC Allows Additional Facebook Investors
We learned today that the SEC has issued a ruling that will allow Facebook to take on more than 500 investors. 500 is generally the magic number that the SEC keys on when evaluating a company. Keep in mind that Facebook is still privately held but is surpassing it’s rival MySpace which is now publicly […]
Google Friend Connect
I just signed up to participate in the rollout of Google’s Friend Connect beta. For those of you who may already be familiar with Facebook Connect, this is along those same lines in that it will allow website visitors to connect and interact with websites using their Google, Yahoo, AIM, or OpenID account, very similar […]
Tips For Online Retailers
Mike from Webpronews posted some great tips he picked up from Yahoo Search Marketing for online retailers that are looking to attract shoppers this holiday season. I was actually considering publishing chapter 2 to a post I did last year that had some suggestions for our e-commerce clients but I think that Mike did a […]
