Personalization Additional By integrating recommendations with other systems, e-retailers enrich the just-for-you experience By Paul Demery

At BikeSomeWhere.com, CEO Jeff Stone figured there must be a more wisely route to serving up personalized content to his customers. So he turned to two technology vendors, one that specializes in artefact recommendations and the other in site search, and asked them to line together to give his customers a shopping experience more suited to their interests.

BikeSomeWhere's locality search vendor, SLI Systems Inc., was already working on prioritizing within search results the surpass sellers among, say, the 400 pairs of biking gloves the retailer sells. But after SLI went to profession with Certona Corp., the personalization vendor, BikeSomeWhere was adept to further prioritize among those 400 biking gloves the brands and complementary products the shopper had shown the most interest in earlier.

After several months of integrating applications and working out trade rules, BikeSomeWhere offers more personalized search and steersmanship that Stone says has increased the percentages of shoppers clicking into issue displays and converting into buyers. "With more signed search results, our customers didn't have to keep searching deeper into location search results, and we definitely saw an increase in conversions," he says.

After surgery, the boy's mother came to the sickbay. When she saw his leg was gone, she no longer wanted him, Mr. Getts said. She reluctantly carried the teenager away, but he guessed the boy will end up in an orphanage.

Mr. Getts says nothing could have predisposed him for what he saw and felt in the broken heart of Haiti.

"I held people's hands while they died, and played with babies who were missing density parts. They had been abandoned," the Jessup resident said after returning from more than a week volunteering in the earthquake- and neediness-ravaged nation.

"I've seen a lot of things. I was in the Marines," Mr. Getts said. "I have never seen anything absolutely this horrible."

He returned to the arms of his wife and children last week, bringing with him emotions he finds awkward to express and a desire to do much more.
