US Dept. of Commerce: Ecommerce sales grew 24% in second quarter

Interestingly, ecommerce as a percentage of total sales, reportedly shrunk — although the numbers are so small that any conclusion is probably wrong:

E-commerce sales in the second quarter of 2002 accounted for 1.2 percent of total sales, while in the second quarter of 2001 e-commerce sales were 1.0 percent of total sales. In the first quarter of 2002 e-commerce sales were 1.3 percent of total sales.
