Monday Was The Biggest Day Ever For Online Spending

Cyber Monday online sales reached $2 billion this year, up 17 percent from last year's Cyber Monday, according to Reston, Va., Internet tracking firm comScore Inc.

It was the heaviest online spending day in history, and the only day to ever surpass $2 billion in sales, comScore (NASDAQ: SCOR) says.

Its data indicates the weekend after Thanksgiving also reached a milestone, with the first-ever billion-dollar shopping day on a Saturday. Online sales Sunday fell just short of $1 billion.
