Congratulations on thisWhat dotnet library did you use? We are also
using solr in our windows2003/C# environment but currently simply use HTTP
to query and the Dataimport handler to update the indices...

BUY.COM(r) LAUNCHES INTERNATIONAL ONLINE RETAILING WEBSITES
Just in Time for the Holidays, Leading Online Retailer Delivers
the Best Deals, Free Shipping to Shoppers in Canada and Europe
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., October 21, 2009 - Buy.com(r), The Internet
Superstore(tm), today announced its international expansion with
dedicated e-commerce sites for customers in Canada, France, Germany and
the United Kingdom, giving shoppers access to the best deals online and
free shipping on today's hottest consumer electronics and technology
products.
As part of its international expansion, Buy.com also will sell on eBay
sites in these four countries. By the end of the year, the company will
open e-commerce sites for Italy and Spain, with plans to eventually
increase its footprint worldwide and expand its product offerings with
new categories and the addition of Marketplace sellers.
Local, in-country e-commerce warehouses enable shoppers to take
advantage of speedier delivery time and customized product information
in local languages and currencies compared to shopping on Buy.com's U.S.
site.
We plan to replicate our successful online retailing model throughout
the world, said Neel Grover, President and CEO, Buy.com. Like
Buy.com's U.S. roots, we're introducing our core offerings in
electronics first, but we plan to deliver robust product catalogs
featuring a variety of categories and the same value-added services to
our global customers.
Just in time for the holiday season, international shoppers have a new
destination for a great online shopping experience. To help shoppers
make the best purchasing decisions, Buy.com offers user reviews, free
shipping and special deals and promotions.
In addition, Buy.com also provides an environmentally friendly shopping
alternative. Carnegie Mellon University's Green Design Institute
recently conducted a retail environmental impact study, showing that
shopping online via Buy.com's virtual e-commerce model reduces energy
consumption and carbon emissions by 35 percent compared to shopping at
traditional brick-and-mortar outlets.
Shoppers can visit Buy.com's new international websites at ca.buy.com
(Canada); fr.buy.com (France); de.buy.com (Germany) and uk.buy.com
(United Kingdom).
