Poll: Shoppers crowd Amazon.com |

Poll: Shoppers crowd Amazon.com
Amazon.com's Web site slowed considerably Friday under the strain of holiday shoppers, but the Seattle online retailer held up better than Sears.com. The Associated Press reports that the Web site for Sears was inaccessible for two hours. Citing research from Keynote Systems, the AP says that the Web sites of Amazon.com and Target were taking about 40 seconds load versus 25 seconds last week.
We're split here at TechFlash when it comes to Black Friday. I am avoiding the shops, while colleague Todd Bishop is heading to Seattle's REI. Where are you going to shop this year?
