[May 16, 2013] The great online sale Tweet May 16, 2013 (BRW - ABIX via COMTEX) -- A spate of mergers is underway in the Australian online retailing sector. Catch of the Day has taken over Vinomofo and Mumgo, while GraysOnline has acquired OO.com.au. Bookworld was launched by Pearson following its acquisition of the online operations of Angus & Robertson and Borders. Telsyte's Sam Yip notes that bricks-and-mortar retailers, who are keen to make inroads into electronic commerce, are loath to erode their brand by taking over online retailers known for discounting.
