holiday

One third of online shoppers experienced glitches during this holiday season, according to research from eCommerce solutions provider Guidance. The nationwide survey found that 36% of people looking for the perfect gift online met technical difficulties. Web hosting related issues included crashed websites and inability to complete purchases.

For the ninth consecutive year, the last Friday of July is celebrated internationally and with much fanfare as the Annual System Administrator Appreciation Day. Well, maybe not with that much fanfare, but it seems to roll with more momentum than other contemporary dates of importance like, say, The International Talk Like a Pirate Day (September 19), and GoDaddy's Webmasters Day (April 29).
