Comparing with Summize

I've been doing lots of online window shopping this week, trying to find the best gifts for my friends and family. And I've found a favorite new Summize feature that lets you compare reviews and opinions on just about anything.  All you have to do is enter the letters "vs" for versus between the topics you want to compare. For example my cell phone contract is up in a few days and I've been looking at new phones. My sister-in-law raves about her new Blackberry, but I'm partial to Palm so I searched for "treo vs blackberry." Treo-vs-blackberry
Looking at that comparison I may give the Blackberry another look.

I'm also trying to figure out what to get my nieces and nephews. For the girls I looked at "high school musical vs hannah montana." With 79% great reviews it looks like something related to Hannah Montana might be a good choice. And comparisons aren't limited to just two topics, you can compare as many topics as you like. For example I compared "dora the explorer vs elmo vs bob the builder" for my younger nieces and nephews.Dora-vs-elmo-vs-bob

For fun I started comparing musicians and celebrities. There has been so much buzz about Amy Winehouse this year. I compared her to fellow 2007 MTV Video Music Award nominees: "amy winehouse vs lily allen vs carrie underwood vs gym class heroes." Amy had the highest percentage of great reviews at 77%, but apparently that wasn't enough since Gym Class Heroes won the 2007 VMA for Best New Artist. And while Britney Spears might be losing the custody battle with K-Fed, she easily wins the review battle on Summize: "britney spears vs kevin federline." Britney-vs-kevin
70% wretched reviews for Mr. Federline must sting a bit.

The comparison possibilities are endless...If you find any interesting ones let me know.
