For the first time, the number of women who used the Internet for holiday shopping
outpaced the number of men who did so, according to a study by the Pew
Internet & American Life Project. Of the 29 million online users who made purchases
online during the holiday season, approximately 58 percent were women, up from 50
percent last year. The study also concluded that online shopping
remains just one part of most users' gift buying experience

I can't believe men were ever more likely than women to "hand over their credit card numbers" on the Internet or anyplace else. Anyway, I too did a lot of my holiday shopping online for the first time--to avoid going into toy stores. But I still don't like buying clothes online.

I don't know the accuracy of survery, but I, in deed, bought all of my gifts online for Christmas and New Year's Day. Yet, I did not buy them online because I became more or less comfortable with the Internet, but it was convenience of shopping at home. ^^
