Cyber Monday Piggybacks On Social Media To Become Top Online Shopping Day

Cyber Monday Facebook Users Graph Done 2When the term Cyber Monday was coined in 2005, the Monday after Thanksgiving was the 12th biggest online shopping day of the year. That year, Facebook had 5.5 million users and Twitter didnt exist. In 2010, Cyber Monday was the #1 biggest online shopping day of the year, with sales topping $1 billion.
