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 - ...
Todd Friesen, who lives here in Washington (though I never see him since he's nowhere near Seattle), is inviting folks with Sandboxed sites to email him. All of ours are currently out (probably because we haven't taken on a new customer in more than a year), but I wish I had some to send him. I know Bill's SEO by...

The name reminds me of the London fashion firm - French Connection United Kingdom (FCUK), but it's actually a good-looking system. You can try it for free on this page and download the installation sof...
