No, it is not. It’s a marketing term coined by the National Retail Federation.

You are more likely to find better deals online as the holidays get closer and there’s a last minute drive to move inventory. “Cyber Monday” is not really a real thing. It’s also time that the word “cyber” was also sent into the halls of Internet History.

This is a great day for life and food and occasionally technology.

Whats up with eBay?

This is going to make spring cleaning a little more interesting.
