However, before you even start thinking about that, I'd get someone to have

a serious look at the technology that is being used to provide reporting.

Some providers have *terrible* technology setups, with the net effect that

if their servers fall over, it breaks your purchase path. Needless to say,

they don't provide an SLA which protects you against this. I won't name the

guilty ones, but be aware.


BTW - any good etail experiences recently?


I am brimming with joy (again) at blackstar, who have just managed to track

me down a deleted video which i've spent 12 months looking for fruitlessly.

Etoys has saved my life trying to get presents to my godson in the murky

midlands (with a pretty easy shopping experience), and this morning i got an

email from streetsonline letting me know that they'd managed to escape

dotcom meltdown by virtue of being taken over by kingfisher and sky. great

to see 2 home-growns flourishing for all the right reasons. . . .shame

about etoys, which looks like it simply isn't going to get the xmas traffic

to save it (is this what happens when pure-plays that rely too much on the

wrong kind of advertising cut back on advertising???)


Merry xmas all - thanks for all the top tips / rants / fun over the year!
