The Diatribe * net

The shopping season has begun. Black Friday was just a few days ago, and today we’re in the midst of what is known as Cyber Monday. Though I dislike the term, nobody really asked me.

One item I wanted to point out is that any site using Google Checkout is offering a $10 discount on all your holiday purchases. I’ve known about this for quite some time, but I didn’t quite realize the extent of sites that are using the GoogleCheckout product. The include J&R Electronics, BlueFly, Buy.com, ToysRUs and many many more.

Learn more about the Google Checkout program and the participating stores. I can’t think of any reason not to get started today!
