Cyber Monday

This 'shopping holiday' has always intrigued me since it's inception about ten years ago.  This year's Cyber Monday was apparently quite successful for many online retailers causing some brick and mortar stores to wonder about Black Friday's traditional appeal.  As for me, I can't begin to see the appeal in waking up at 5 or 6am the day after Thanksgiving to rush out to crowded stores and lines.  Give me a cup of coffee, my laptop and my recliner please.  All that said, all this online activity is great for consumers.  It forces websites and online retailers to focus on competitive deals, website functionality, product selection and customer service.
