I’m serious.

Let me make one thing perfectly clear:

My disdain for Hellary has nothing to do with her supposedly being a woman! I love women and would vote for one for president readily. But, let’s not vote for Klinton just because of gender: think back to that administration, all of the spies, lies, corruption, deaths, smears, immorality, backstabbing, laws broken, drugs, bribes, Chinese spies, payoffs, character assinations, assasinations, investigations, using dead people, theft, obfescations, stealing china, destruction of public property, threats to bimbos, assaults, rape accusations, sex not sex, asprin factory murders, tyrant coddling, Whtewatering, Rose law firming, missing files, DNA disapearance, Foster bodies, Lies in diaries, lawyers commiting suicide, hidden agendas, payoffs, Luewinskiing, coverups, mismanagements, bodies in the parks, bodies in the cell, bodies in the water, nuclear secrets being sold, FBI files stolen, blackmailings, ….. all with Hellary right smack dab in the middle either orchestrating or covering up!
Use your memories people!

Other than that I have nothing against her.

“Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, where it has served as the unofficial beginning of the Christmas season at least since the start of the modern Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1924. The term ‘Black Friday’ has been traced back only to the 1970s.

The term Cyber Monday refers to the Monday immediately following Black Friday, …

Now that a majority have DSL or better, most don’t need to wait to return to work today to shop. Granted, that fat pipe T-1 is nice! But the term ‘Cyber Monday’ is out there, and smart e-tailers could take advantage of it, promote some unique offerings (most offer free shipping today, that’s the common theme). I went to Amazon and other sites and came away underwhelmed. Black Friday, love it or hate it, has that frenzy and interesting feel to it … with people camping out like they’re waiting for the next iPhone. Cyber Monday, so far, is like comparing a fart to a hurricane.

I posted a thought in the Forum on a unique way to advertise for Cyber Monday (aimed at big etailers). If you just clod along with everyone else, and fail to do something memorable and unique to grab consumers, it’s just another day. As for media … where’s the creative producer who takes a camera team to eBay or Amazon today, to show how the big boys handle the rush?? It’s the typical table talk on CNBC and Fox Business, etc. Do some behind the scenes stuff on days like today, and it might just be interesting. Jeff Bezos leading a camera team around one of his shipping floors, all on Segue scooters. Can’t we make online as interesting as offline??

I looked around a bit and wasn’t too impressed by the specials. I don’t like when retailers try to lump too much to buy together.

It makes a headline — which is all that the retailers are after anyway.

Artificial urgency… But most definitely NOT a one-day-peak affair (I seem to remember a previous year’s “Cyber” day, and how some reported that brick-and-mortar stores were going to beat online sales — judging by the “Cyber Monday” numbers…only to look foolish in January, as the real numbers started to come out.)

Online has its advantages:
No lines, no rush, and no waiting for something that may or may not be available. The companies just need to make sure their servers are up to speed. Sears was down most of the day and when it was up all it generated were server connection errors.

And I agree with Sarah. Cyber? What’s next, ‘virtual’ online stores? I thought we were passed the virtual and cyber crap already.

If this is typical, if Amazon’s Christmas delivery capacity is already gone, then they may not get to participate fully in the rest of the sales season.

Not sure it means much, just my anecdotal evidence of a bit of a contradiction…
