The Crowds or the Net?

from the touchy-feely dept

It's the holiday season and it seems that the majority of the US population prefers mall shopping to cyber shopping (only twenty percent of Internet users have shopped online for Christmas so far). One of the main problems (that I totally agree with) is the general difficulty of browsing for gift ideas on the net when compared to store shopping.

    Having just returned from a trip to the local mall I can say that anecdotal evidence supports that article... That place was damn crowded.

    You should check out Oxford street here in London, it's like some sort of zoo!
