Ask Jeeves(R) provides online gift-buying
guidance for holiday shoppers
The holidays are quickly approaching and time for holiday shopping is running out. With this in mind, Ask Jeeves, Inc. (Nasdaq: ASKJ), a leading provider of natural-language question answering services on the Web for consumers and companies, has developed a shopping area on Ask.com(TM) devoted to making online holiday gift-buying easy. Users unsure of where to go or what to buy this holiday season can go to Ask.com to get answers to shopping-related questions, ranging from "Where can I compare prices for toys and games?" to "Where can I find gift ideas and suggestions for a hostess?" to "What do I need to know about shopping on the Internet?"
The holiday shopping area at Ask.com lets shoppers check off each item on their shopping list. From price comparisons, to product reviews, to great gift ideas for any member of the family, holiday shoppers can use Ask Jeeves to get the information they need to make an informed purchase.
"The amount of information and number of merchants available on the Web have made online shopping confusing for many consumers," said Ted Briscoe, senior vice president and general manager of the Ask Jeeves Consumer Question Answering Service. "We believe that Ask Jeeves takes the guesswork out of online shopping by pulling together the most frequently asked holiday shopping questions and organizing them all in one place."
The holiday shopping area is classified by categories, including computers, software, books, toys, music, movies and gifts. Each section features a navigation bar of content choices designed to simulate the browsing habits of consumers in relation to the product category. The area also includes direct links to "Hot Holiday Toys" and "Gift Ideas" designed to make choosing the perfect gift simple.
