BloggeRhythms 11/25/2011

I haven't come across the reason yet, but apparently there was some kind of glitch in the protesters plan to block folks from entering major retailer's stores today.

According to Fox News, by early afternoon on Black Friday some retailers are already calling this year one of the best in recent history. Some 152 million shoppers are expected to visit stores seemingly unfazed by the slumped economy.

Additionally, unless I missed it, the protesters had no plan to disrupt on-line sales which are expected to produce another promising season this year, up 39% from last year. Mobile traffic, the number of consumers using a mobile device to visit a retailer’s site, reached a high of 15.2%, up 6.45% year-over-year, while the number of people mobile shopping grew to 11.09%, almost triple from 2010.

IBM said, “Thanksgiving 2011 proved to be a banner shopping day for online retailers.”

So I guess the protesters don't have a lot of technology in their tents, or hand-held devices. And from what I've seen, most of their hand-held devices are signs containing considerable numbers of mis-spelled words and threats to various sectors of society. However, most of the folks that are in those sectors may have missed the admonitions coming from the Wall Street anti-everything squad because they were either out buying stuff from retailers in person, or downloading deals on the net.

That's it for today folks.

Adios
