Survey Says: S e x + Shopping + Geography Equals the Perfect Valentine's Day; The Romantically-Challenged have Questions, Shopzilla has Answers as the One-Stop Solution this Valentine's Day
LOS ANGELES --(Business Wire)-- Jan. 27, 2005 -- Romance is a complex equation. If you are clueless when it comes to being Cupid, a new Valentine's Day study(a) by Shopzilla, the leading shopping search engine, reveals gift preferences by geography and gender that will direct your bow and arrow straight to the heart. Online shoppers can visit www.shopzilla.com, to find millions of Valentine's gifts in less than 20 milliseconds. But hurry-up, because love is in the air, and more than half of online consumers (55%) plan to start shopping tomorrow, Jan. 28 through Feb. 10.
"Shopzilla is Cupid's one-stop solution for finding, comparing and buying gifts that will steal that special someone's heart and ensure that you don't end up sleeping on the couch," said Helen Malani, chief consumer shopping expert, Shopzilla, Inc.
What are the Regional Differences?
The Shopzilla study found that successful Valentine's Day gift giving is linked to geography and gender. Women living in the Northeast, Midwest and Southern regions think that flowers are still the most romantic gift to receive. However, women in the in the Western United States reveal that a romantic travel getaway is first and foremost. Although most women prefer to be taken to a restaurant on Valentine's Day, women from the South, in particular, like to be wined and dined, whereas women from the Northeast are more relaxed about dinner plans. The clueless can take comfort in the fact that across the board, the two most romantic gifts for women are flowers and jewelry.
How the S e x e s Split?
The study found that the top romantic gifts are:
All Female Respondents All Male Respondents -0- *T Flowers 48% Travel Getaway 29% --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jewelry/Watches 45% Dinner 28% --------------------------------------------------------------------- Travel Getaway 40% Flowers 20% --------------------------------------------------------------------- Dinner 32% Return to special place 20% --------------------------------------------------------------------- Spa 31% Jewelry/Watches 20% --------------------------------------------------------------------- *T

Search engine Google sets sights on video
USATODAY.com - Search engine Google sets sights on video
Search engine Google sets sights on video
By Jefferson Graham, USA TODAY
Internet search giant Google's next target: video.
Monday night, Google (GOOG) introduced a test site that searches closed-caption TV show transcripts (www.google.com/video).
What the site won't let you do is locate specific video clips, even though some smaller video search engines offer that. Google says clips will come in the next version. (Related: You are the everything? Google hires Firefox engineer)
Rival Yahoo (YHOO) countered Google's Monday announcement by saying it would incorporate closed-caption transcripts at its test site video.search.yahoo.com by the end of February. Yahoo said it also will add searchable news video clips — currently unavailable.
Google is working with transcripts from ABC, PBS, C-Span and Fox News.

newsobserver.com | Technology Survey: Users confuse search results, ads By ANICK JESDANUN, AP INTERNET WRITER NEW YORK (AP) - Only 1 in 6 users of Internet search engines can tell the difference between unbiased search results and paid advertisements, a new survey finds. The Pew Internet and American Life Project reported Sunday that adults online in the United States are generally naive when it comes to how search engines work. The major search engines all return a mix of regular results, based solely on relevance to the search terms entered, and sponsored links, for which a Web site had paid money to get displayed more prominently.
