Amazon.com has announced staggering sales figures from this year's Cyber Monday event, the Internet's version of Black Friday discount shopping. The company's stats reportedly show that November 29 (Cyber Monday) was Amazon's busiest day of 2010. On that day, worldwide visitors bought an average of 158 items every single second, totaling a "record-breaking" 13.7 million items sold. "According to comScore, overall online spending in the United States surpassed $1 billion on Cyber Monday in 2010, up 16 percent versus [a] year ago. Clearly, Amazon took a huge piece of that particular pie," writes TechCrunch. |
