Online retail spending up 33 percent.

comScore, Inc. has reported that holiday season e-commerce spending for the first 41 days of the November--December 2007 holiday season was over $20 billion, a 19-percent gain over the corresponding days last year. "Green Monday," a term recently coined by eBay to describe the second Monday in December as the heaviest online spending day of the season, may well live up to its lofty billing as U.S. online retail spending on December 10 reached $881 million, up 33 percent versus last year.
