Millions of Americans logged on to e-commerce sites Monday to take advantage of deals ranging from free shipping to hundreds of dollars off electronics and half-price clothing on what was expected to be the busiest Internet shopping day of the year. Brandon Harris, 27, from Memphis, Tenn., started shopping at midnight Sunday and by Monday had spent around $300 and completed half of his Christmas shopping, including a Barbie doll for his niece and a TV for his mother. The National Retail Federation, a trade group, predicted that more than 131 million people would shop online Monday, up about 2 percent from last year. The name Cyber Monday was coined in 2005 by Shop.org to encourage people to shop online.
