How Google, eBay, And PayPal Are Gearing Up For A Very Mobile Holiday Shopping Season | TechCrunch
Online holiday shopping reached record levels in 2010. And e-commerce spendingis up this year. All signs point to consumers spending even more online this holiday season. I sat down with executives from Google, eBay, PayPal and ShopKick to discuss the trends that are expected to emerge in the e-commerce space over the next few months. They center around mobile, tablets, and deals.
PayPal has more than doubled its mobile payments volume since the 2010 holiday shopping season, and we haven’t even hit the thick of this year’s rush. eBay is projecting $5 billion in mobile payments volume in 2010 and this number could increase in the next few months. And Google projects that 15 percent of total search on Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving and one of the biggest shopping days of the year) will come from mobile devices. Tablet devices are now a part of the online shopping experience and retailers are taking note. Clearly, all signs point to the fact that this could be the breakout year for mobile shopping.

Bigger Is Not Always Better
Huge Web Hosting Company Begs Users To Adopt Gmail
This was a recent headline that caught my eye recently and started me thinking about web hosting and size and value and the appropriate web hosting service based on your business needs.
To my mind, this article emphasizes that one-size-fits all and cheap and bigger is really not better and again reminds me of that old saying “You get what you pay for”.
Does anyone that is in business for themselves that takes their business seriously really want the cheapest of anything they can buy?
Is your web site an after-thought–something that you think you ‘must’ have because everyone else has one, but you don’t really realize the importance of it so you try to do it on the cheap?
After seeing this article I went right to the company web site and the first thing I saw was the advertised rate of $5.95 per month with Gigabytes of data storage Terabytes of bandwidth and a whopping 90 day money back guarantee–seems you can’t go wrong with all they are giving you–and a money back warranty to boot.
And then you read the blog article, written by the owner of the company, requesting their clients switch to Google for their email service, one of the most important services to a small business, and you start to realize what they are all about.
First, their support is terrible because they have too many clients and not enough trained support staff. Second, they don’t have to support web sites because most people naive enough to opt for a five dollar a month hosting service don’t really know if their web site is up or down and do not treat their web presence an an integral part of their business. Consequently, they may be better off having no web site than a web site that is not available when a potential client tries to visit the site and receives an error message.
