You already know that I am not a fan of "Cyber Monday".
That being said, it is a hoot to use Twitter to follow what real human beings (not press releases) are saying about Cyber Monday.

You can learn from actual humans that businesses like Gap, Victoria's Secret, Home Depot, CompUSA and Williams Sonoma experienced slowdowns.
