Personally I’m not into getting up at zero AM and staggering to the mall. I’d rather stay home and shop online. I don’t have to worry about a place to park, and I don’t have to worry about someone smacking me in the head with a shopping bag.

Amazon is aiming for people like me with its online Black Friday deals. You can get a list of the today’s shopping deals — one every hour — at the hourly lightning deals page.

Amazon is also doing its Amazon votes promotion, which allows customers to vote on items they want to see heavily discounted. (The product with the most votes gets the deep discount.)

And finally, as this is a Web 2.0 Black Friday, Amazon has a widget for today’s deals. Check it out, and happy shopping!
