Cyber Monday

After enduring Black Friday, “Cyber Monday” has rolled around. Haven’t heard the term before? Well, I hadn’t either until just recently, so I thought a quick trip to Wikipedia would help me out with the definition.

The term, which was started by shop.org in 2005, signifies the Monday after Black Friday. The thought behind it is shoppers still left with unchecked items on their Christmas shopping list, will turn to online retailers to fill in and complete their Christmas shopping. Although “Cyber Monday” is still considered a neologism, a word devised relatively recently but has not been accepted into mainstream language, it has been slowly catching on. And even if it doesn’t go very far, it will still be used by the online community to promote their items and services and to offer great deals.

So have at it and see what kind of online buys you can get. If you haven’t already received a mulititude of great Christmas deals in your inbox, check out the website, www.cybermonday.com.
