Internet shopping grinds to a halt
Meagre 1% increase over last year is slowest growth since records began
The web isn't immune to the economic slowdown, according to internet metrics company comScore.
It estimates that the growth in US spending online in October was just 1 per cent higher than the previous year - the smallest increase since it started tracking e-tailers in 2001.
In comparison, August 2007 saw growth topping 28 per cent and as recently as June, shops were enjoying double digit annual increase.
