15%

Following the news that Black Friday online spending was up this year, here’s some more good news for the internet economy: Last week’s holiday spending was also up 15% compared with the same period last year, according to comScore. Online spending for the week ending December 9 reached $5.9 billion, compared with $5.1 billion in 2010. And that’s before the beginning of the traditionally heaviest week of the holiday season, which started yesterday with “Green Monday”. Online spending since November 1 currently stands at an impressive $24.6 billion.
