    Every year brings more online shoppers. I don’t know what the % shift is from brick & mortar stores to online retailers, but it must be growing year after year. I hate to see neighborhood stores eventually disappearing, but also like reviewing products online and getting information about the product that otherwise you just couldn’t find.

    The talk of Circuit City declaring bankruptcy is a sign of the times. Despite all the business they have done, it’s apparently just not enough.

    Absolutely not surprised. I think this is the perfect opportunity to start approaching brick and mortar shops about domains names and development. Whomever does not have an online presence is missing the train, and the money.

    I love it!
