2004 Online Holiday Black Friday Spending up 41%
Online spending in 2004 through the day after Thanksgiving--also known as "Black Friday" in the retail industry because heavy sales have pushed retailers into profitability for the year--totaled $5.7 billion, compared with $4.6 billion in 2003. Spending on Black Friday itself failed to disappoint e-tailers; U.S. consumers accounted for $250 million in online sales, a 41 percent increase over the $178 million reported for 2003. ComScore 11/2004

What are Trackback Pings ??
I wanted to figure out what trackback pings are and why they are important:
This is a good article from the founders of MovableType:
http://www.movabletype.org/trackback/beginners/
Basically, the main reason you should use this if you are starting a blog is so that you can reference other blogs and have the content automatically referenced on your blog...I will write more as I experiment.

To Blog or Not to Blog
Its 1:12 AM and I have to say setting up a blog is not the easiest thing to do if you do not have the correct documentation. My Blogger blog:

Took me about 10 minutes to set up and while it does have limitations it was FREE and easy to set-up. Movable Type has more features, that is for sure, and ultimately I need it for the long run, but it was a pain.
