Gang,
We’re undergoing some improvements at etailology over the next few days. Let me know how you like them! Also, I’ll be condensing the categories in the hopes of focusing the blog a bit more — around strategy, great etail models and concepts, etc. . I’ll be writing/posting less about etail news and tactics (though I will be providing a reading list … stay tuned!) and more about the ideas and concepts I can uniquely bring (a la my customer experience, woot.com, etc. postings).
Keep the comments and email coming.

Having read a frantic post about BlogRush on GetElastic called “Generate Blog Traffic in 10 Minutes“. I rushed to sign up. See the widget at the lower right, or sign up for your own widget — it’s free.
Etailology will be lacking updates this week as I’m on vacation. Hope you’re having a great summer… see you next week!
Sorry for the confusion gang…. this site has finally moved. The blog will remain at etailology.com/blog …. but you should expect a visual tweak or two now that I have some flexibility with the design template. For now, we’ll stick with this simple black and white look.
You may now access this blog directly at www.etailology.com … I’d started this effort as a larger, looser discussion of strategic web development, but my passions lie in etail space. I was surprised to find only a few etail blogs in existance (at least that I or my assistant could locate) and for the most part they discussed either the purely tactical (e.g. how does google checkout work) or the purely commercial (e.g. a review of ecommerce engine X).
This blog does neither. Instead, I hope to focus on how to build an etail presence that sells well and meets the miniumum expectations of users (do the basics) and then discuss how to leverage your brand as an asset which can provide real advanatage online.
More to come, of course. And if you do know of other etail blogs out there, please drop a comment and let us all know.
