Hot Shopping Sites? Who Knows?
from the can't-we-all-just-agree? dept
Apparently there's a bit of a disagreement going on over which sites are the hottest shopping sites this holiday season. Different companies are putting out studies with completely different results, which of course, calls into question the reliability of any of these studies. In the end, the only people who will really use these studies are the companies themselves to trumpet that they're a "top ten" shopping site, even though there are going to be 30 or so "top 10" sites.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
