The comparison price-checking sites to check out before Black Monday
Posted by Dominic Basulto
Over the past few days, the local New York tabloids have been building momentum for the annual multi-billion-dollar post-Thanksgiving spending orgy known as the holiday shopping season. Forget Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving), now there's Black Monday (the first Monday after Thanksgiving), when online shoppers really shift into buy mode. With that in mind, the New York Daily News included a handy guide to comparison shopping sites for Internet-savvy New York shoppers. Among the sites mentioned: Yahoo's shopping site, Shopzilla, Shopping.com, Become.com, FatLens.com, Dulance, ConsumerClub, Dealio, and SquareTrade.
Interestingly, the folks at Yahoo prefer to use the term "Cyber Monday" when discussing Monday, November 28. Which term do you prefer, Black Monday or Cyber Monday?

If it was black monday, it would imply that the e-commerce sites spent the rest of the year in the red. Is that the case?
