2 People Are Speaking Their Mind

   First of all, I think this survey is BS. Don’t worry, reasons follow… secondly, what kind of women buy “Jewellry” on eBay?? That’s not even a word, and if they can’t even type properly, or spell correctly (as internet readers, it could be either one of those problems for all we know) how are we as intelligent, degree holding contributors to society supposed to just blindly read this in online passing, and take it to be “fact”?? Plus, if women are spending their online time buying “real” jewelry off eBay, they’re obviously not the kind of people who you really want to include in a survey. I mean, they don’t even buy something as important and valuable as JEWELRY from a licensed dealer. That’s like going to buy a Mercedes from the local used car lot; it’s brains (or, engine in the case of this metaphor) could have been driven into a semi two months ago for all you know. Might look hot for now, but there’s no real value to it. Four months from now, it’ll most likely be in the shop getting checked for the problems that are starting to show up. If you can’t place any kind of importance on something as pricey as real jewelry, I can’t imagine they would put something as priceless as TIME [on or off the internet for that case] to good use… so for the good of women all around, and mankind in general; include decent, intelligent women in your surveys as well as the ignorant (probabally stay-at-home-mom excuse because they don’t have any education) internet buyer; let’s make it an even playing field… just to keep it interesting. Sorry if you thought I was harsh… I guess that means you were one of the “used Mercedes” types that I mentioned…

   Hey Penny,

   Thanks for commenting.

   Jewellery is the english (UK) spelling for Jewelry and I’m from the UK.

   I don’t think you grasped the article properly. The bit about women shopping online was a joke, not a fact.

   Also you referred to the survey as my survey when you said:
   “include decent, intelligent women in your surveys”

   It is not actually my survey but a survey done by a leading research company called eMarketer (this is stated in the article too).

   The study showed that the top 3 things that women watched online was:
   1. News
   2. Movie Previews
   3. Music Videos
