I suppose purporting to be a "frank twat" gives you an excuse to be abusive?

My colleague probably answered in haste, not fully realising the tiny 

attention span of some of the posters to this list.


If he had considered this, he may have answered in the following way:


Moran, while quite obviously NOT a list of ecommerce sites, does offer an 

interesting view of UK companies and their ability to survive online. 

Therefore, it is probably worth looking at when compiling a list of 

ecommerce sites.


I have looked at Moran's methodology quite closely and believe it to be the 

most accurate assessment of the UK digital economy to date.


 >how many of those companies let you buy stuff online?


Ah! So ecommerce is just about buying stuff? Presumably you don't believe 

that any other form of activity (say, reductions in supply chain costs, 

completing part of an order online or even marketing products to be sold 

off line) could be construed as ecommerce.


I think sites like Jamba, Yahoo! or Ginger Online would claim to be at the 

forefront of ecommerce but don't sell "stuff" yet.


 >commercenet my arse.


No thanks, but an interesting offer all the same.


Cheers
