According to data gathered by internet research firm ComScore, Cyber Monday saw the heaviest online spending day in history. Gian Fulgoni, the chairperson of the organization, said that Cyber Monday was "a historic day for e-commerce."

How momentous an occasion? How historic? According to the data, online retailers made $1.028 billion for the day, up 16 percent from a year ago. That number is a milestone for online retailers because it is the very first time that online one-day sales surpassed the billion-dollar mark.

"[I]The online holiday shopping season has clearly gotten off to a very strong start, which is welcome news[/I], said Fulgoni.”[I]At the same time, it is important to note that some of the early strength in consumer spending is almost certainly the result of retailers' heavier-than-normal promotional and discounting activity at this early point in the season.
