The Rumors of Ecommerce Death

By: Rob Spiegel

As Nasdaq sputters along in dot com shame, a few million few dogged Internet
consumers have ignored the crash. They continue to happily buy away. The
good-news story is not popular with business writers, but Web retailing
continues to grow seemingly unaware that the online mall is crashing down
around them as they choose garden tools, sell sports cards and order vacation
packages. Things aren`t perfect. There has been somewhat of a dip since
Christmas, but I think most Net retailers can live with a post-holiday.
