LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) – The month of October is just around the corner, and TAMIU is registering participants for its highly anticipated Zombie Run.

A survey from Capterra found that 75% of UK shoppers start their online shopping customer journey through search engines, like Google or even TikTok. Another 55% prefer to start directly on the ecommerce websites or apps themselves. These two ways are the most popular ways consumers find products online.

Upon purchase, 71% of shoppers choose to complete their transactions on retailer websites or apps. As much as eCommerce marketplaces, like your Amazons, and department store sites are options, they are used less often for final purchases. Usually just to browse through products.

A video being shared on social media with claims it shows Hezbollah bombing Israel actually shows an explosion at a petrol station in Yemen.

One post shared on X, formerly Twitter, has more than 532,000 views and is captioned: “While you were sleeping last night, Hezbollah did this to Israel”. The video has also been shared on Facebook with the caption “Yesterday it was Beirut, Today ‘Haifa’!”

But the video being shared is unrelated to this conflict.
