How I wish these people who are laid off will be able to join some of the exciting technology start-ups.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">globalrs</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 09 Nov 2008 09:00:51 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The Social Web Economy: Introduction</title><link>http://www.socialtimes.com/2008/08/the-social-web-economy-introduction/#comment-2832025</link><description>Online shopping has become one of the most highly popular pastimes in internet history. Why? The answer is quite simple. Shopping online affords you many benefits that you simply do not get by shopping in traditional or brick and mortar department stores and/or malls. Online shopping gives you the opportunity to shop even during the middle of the night when most all other stores are closed. You also have the added advantage of shopping from home, which not only saves you time but will also save you money when you consider the cost of fuel these days.  Even when you factor in the shipping costs of shopping online, it will still be much less expensive than purchasing fuel for your car and driving to your closest store. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There are a number of other benefits of shopping online. One of the most noted is the opportunity to view more products. When you visit a department store or mall, you can only look at one thing at a time. If you shop online you have the opportunity to pull up as many products as you want. You should also keep in mind that typical online malls provide a much higher inventory than traditional stores. This is because there is no overhead for them. They simply need no large storage space to hold all their products, which gives you an advantage when shopping because you have the opportunity to view hundreds or even thousands more products than you would see in a traditional store. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Of course if you really needed a reason that online shopping is more advantageous, it would have to be the cost factor. Shopping online is typically less expensive than shopping in stores. This again is because of the lack of overhead cost to the seller. And, what saves the seller money ultimately saves you money as well. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bestshoppingexperience247.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.bestshoppingexperience247.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It can’t cost less than FREE!
