The media's got a name for the "biggest online shopping day of the year", the Monday following "Black Friday" and Thanksgiving in the US. Our two (holiday benefitting) e-commerce sites actually saw higher sales yesterday and today, but I guess we're outside the mainstream.

A good article on the subject comes from the IHT - Online sales take off on 'Cyber Monday'. I also note that IHT has re-written their URLs recently to make them more SE-friendly... How thoughtful.
