]]> Comment on Gas Prices Boosting Ecommerce? by Jen A. Miller http://brianbranca.com/2008/07/gas-prices-boosting-ecommerce/#comment-91 Jen A. Miller Fri, 25 Jul 2008 15:50:39 +0000 http://brianbranca.com/?p=132#comment-91 I wrestled with this just yesterday. I had two options to buy new running shoes: Drive to a store and buy a new pair, or order a new pair on Zappos.com and wait until after the weekend -- a weekend with two scheduled runs -- to get the shoes from Zappos.com. I wrestled with the decision and ended up going with Zappos.com. I didn't want to deal with the hassle and cost of driving. Part of the reason, too, is Zappos.com's customer service, which makes me trust them as a consumer, and I had a store credit. Plus, I buy the same pair of running shoes, so I didn't need to try anything on. If I'd needed a new style, I would have gone to the store. The bonus: I was worried about not getting the shoes until Monday. Because I used a store credit, I got upgraded shipping. Ordered the sneakers at 5pm last night, they were at my house by 10:30 this morning. But this is also the time of the year when I usually go to websites and shop the summer sales. I'm not doing it this year given that the price of fuel and food is so high. I’m cutting back everywhere. The only reason I bought new shoes was because running shoes are the only thing I really spend on that isn’t food. I’ll hurt my knees otherwise. So it seems, like you, that I'm not sold on this whole high gas prices will help ecommerce. Overall, I'm spending less online. I wrestled with this just yesterday.

But I've really enjoyed following along. I think that Potluck is going to be a big success -- I hope I can go.

I use an older K2 theme because I was preferential to the 3 column layout. I've done some slight modifications, but I try not to toy with it too much as I am not a CSS expert. Thanks Diddy!

It seems like Plurk has put a little more thought into the types of things people like to do when micro-blogging & want to keep them interacting within their own & their friends' profiles & timelines. I see an awful lot of Twitter activity leading to things away from the site. Thanks!

It's weird. It's interesting that they're trying to be funny and edgy yet they also seem to want to appeal to a broader audience than Twitter.
