MarketWatch reports that shopping by cellphone seems to have come into its own this weekend:

Black Friday saw tremendous use of mobile phones by consumers to zero in on and make purchases, industry data reviewed by Dow Jones show.

From a very small base last year, mobile online payments through PayPal surged nearly 650%, said Amanda Pires, senior director of marketing at the online payment service.

Searches from mobile devices jumped from around 5,000 on Black Friday in 2008 to roughly 200,000 this year, said Siva Kumar, chief executive of TheFind.com, a product search engine.

I wouldn’t know.

You wouldn’t catch me shopping on the Friday after Thanksgiving at anything more crowded than a 7-11.

We did something a little different this week as I invited a Panel of guests to talk about technology. We brought on Brian Westbrook (No, not the Football player) and Ric Morgan. We talked about Black Friday / Cyber Monday and the economy, CPG, Google Chrome, Windows XP rebirth, Sprint Networks, Slingbox, Passwords and so much more!

We had a special episode of the LIVE Show tonight as we talked about Black Friday and a bunch more stuff. Was only an hour tonight, but we still had some good conversation.

I am under the weather, so we are going to make this as short of a show as possible.
