Kanımca şu an dünya yeni bir eTicaret değer yapısının içine girmiş bulunuyor. Bu değer yapısını etkileyen iki etken var: Birincisi yeni formatların başarılı olmasından kaynaklanıyor. Bu oturmuş yapıların hepsini etkileyecek. İkincisi, kullanıcı deneyiminde büyük değişiklikler oluyor. Check-out süreci örneği bunun en belirgin örneği. ]]></description>

The Turkish eCommerce is having a golden time. No idea which is not localized within a few months. Not a single investor who can afford not to invest in Turkey. Just a focus on the top 20 players in this market shows, how much the dynamics changed in the last 12 months.   

In one of my last <a href="http://www.sinaafra.com/why-turkey-is-hot">articles</a>, I tried to summarize why I believe Turkey is one of the hottest countries in the internet space. The questions, mails, tweets and all other communication after that article was overhelming. And one of the most asked questions was about the Turkish eCommerce... This is how the story of this article started in my mind. ]]></description>

After meeting in Istanbul, the next big conference on Flash Sales happened last week in New Delhi / India. 
We have met all our friends around the world again in the fascinating and colorful India.

Bundan tam bir sene önce "Melekler ve Şeytanlar döneminin başlangıcı" baslıklı bir yazı yazmıstım. Bu yazı yazdığım yazılar arasında en çok konuşulan yazı oldu. Bir sene sonra, o yazıdaki öngörülerin üstünden geçip, yeniden bir değerlendirme yapma zamanı gelmiştir...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Infografikler çok yararlı bir sunum tarzı. Ben çok beğeniyorum. Geçenlerde Trendyol bir tane yayınladı ve bu sefer şaştım diyebilirim. Bazı sayıların abartılı bir şekilde sunulduğunu gördüm. Bizim dönemsel infografik'e bu sefer kaynak vererek bazı ek bilgiler eklemeyi uygun bulduk. Ben de buradan sizlerle paylaşmak istedim. Hepimiz belki sayıları yukarı doğru hafiften yuvarlıyoruz ama gerçeğe sadık kalıyoruz. Bundan sonra infografik yayınlayan herkesin doğrulara sadık kalması dileklerimle.
