Incidents on the Internet — Weekly summary

By

“Incidents between November 24 — December 7:

“Free offer takes down Dr. Pepper website: If you decide to
offer everyone in America a free soda and make the offer last just
one day, and direct everyone to your website, you’re asking
for trouble. This is exactly what Dr. Pepper did. (This happened on
November 23, but we included it here anyway because we thought it
was really interesting.)

“Black Friday knocks out Sears.com: Though several online
retailers had trouble with their websites, none had more trouble
than Sears.com on Black Friday (Nov. 28), forcing the site to put
up a maintenance page large parts of the day. StorefrontBacktalk
has a nice summary of the incidents on Black Friday.”
