Pets.com
smells success with sock puppet sales
Of
all the inventive ways Internet companies have tried to attract customers, Pets.com
may well take the prize: It has started selling the company mascot.
Teen E-Shoppers Face Barriers
According to new research
from PricewaterhouseCoopers, U.S. teens are spending a considerable amount of
time online, but rarely spend it shopping.
Shoppers find Web's blowout sale
is over
Remember
all that free shipping, gratis gift wrapping and below-cost merchandise on retail
Web sites? Hold onto the memories, because they're all that's left of most of
those perks in the stingy new world of e-retailing
Will Chairs Sell on the Web, or
Just Fold?
A year
ago, the idea of selling furniture on the Internet seemed a stroke of genius.
What could be cooler than clicking up a couch? Now, the idea doesn't seem so cool.
What's That Noise on the Internet?
The Sound of Alliances Being Forged
E-commerce partnership announcements have come so often recently that they have
become the white noise of Internet business, the hum of the industry's hard drive.
With these partnerships, sites achieve two critical e-commerce objectives: first,
they increase the chances of shoppers' spending more on each order; second, they
prevent customers from straying to other retailers.

Analyst lists e-tailers headed
for cash crunch
Buy.com, Autoweb.com and at least 10 other Internet retailers will have to figure
out ways to boost their cash reserves by the end of 2000 or in the first half
of 2001, Goldman Sachs e-commerce analyst Anthony Noto said today.
The dotcom graveyard
UpsideToday pays homage to the
spate of recently departed Internet companies.
Think buyout, not IPO
Many startups are better suited
for acquisitions than to go public.
Service Beats Price on the Web,
Study Finds
Prices
online vary widely, an MIT study says, because people place familiarity and service
above cost.
Nervous shoppers lean toward big
online names
Customers
and industry watchers say the recent stream of dot-com failures has some shoppers
going with big-name e-tailers that they trust are on solid ground.
Can the Net Offer Security?
Seattle-based SecureEye.com
believes its digital surveillance technology will change the way public and private
sector companies protect their properties.
Furniture.com Lays Off 80
The Framingham online
furniture store slashes its workforce 40 percent, cutting costs as it seeks to
