...activity. Contrary to industry buzz, the busiest day for online shopping, in terms of market-share of site visits, isn't Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) or even Cyber Monday (the following Monday). For the past four years, it's been Thanksgiving Day itself - I need a catchy phrase, like Brown Thursday or perhaps Cyburkey Day - when we rush to our computers to surf the retail sites, perhaps to kill time while the bird is roasting or to start our holiday buying research. Hitwise data reveals that a good portion of Internet traffic on Thanksgiving is research related - many...

When Douglas Coupland popularized the phrase “Generation X” in his 1991 debut novel of the same name, he cast himself as the passive observer. In stepping back from time and cultural context, he held all the naivety, hypocrisy, and sheer idiocy of North America’s consumer-driven society in our collective face for us to laugh at. And laugh we did, all the way up until the bizarre, self-referential ending to 2006’s quirky “JPod.” But something has been lost in his latest work...
