Data. Knowledge. Power. Truth.


I was just listening to @sarahrobinson’s GameChangers call, and @chrisguillebeau mentioned a sign on his computer…something like, “What is your purpose for doing all this?” And then I realized I know why I’m doing this, but I never told you.
Time to tell.

Shopping Carts: 25 Nifty Features for Under $25/mth

In reviewing shopping carts for the Guide, I found a heap of nifty, useful features that I didn’t expect to see in affordable carts.
