Cyber Monday

I heard a new phrase today, well new to me at least. Black Friday is followed by Cyber Monday

I went to the ever reliable Wikipedia and read the following: "The term Cyber Monday refers to the Monday immediately following Black Friday, the ceremonial kick-off of the holiday online shopping season in the United States between Thanksgiving Day and Christmas. Whereas Black Friday is associated with traditional brick-and-mortar stores, "Cyber Monday" symbolizes a busy day for online retailers. The premise was that consumers would return to their offices after the Black Friday weekend, making purchases online that they were not able to make in stores."


I'm a bit ashamed for being a "techie" and not knowing that phrase. Just thought I'd share. Also, I promise not to write about business one of these days.
