Looks like Amazon.com’s free shipping promotion was a success. I can tell you that I took advantage of it twice this holiday season, and saved myself about 30 bucks in shipping. Not too shabby.
Organic Online is laying off 270 people for the holidays. Meet the new economy, same as the old economy. Seriously though, I remember when Organic was this funky Web development firm in San Francisco. The article doesn’t say how many employees they have, but if they’re laying off 270 of them, then they must be huge. (I see from their website that they have 9 offices now including one in Sao Paulo.)
