Valentine's
Day is a big holiday on the Web. As you visit sites over
the next few days, you will increasingly see the Web being
painted red and pink. Below, some thoughts about sites
for Valentine's Day fans and even those who hate the holiday.
If
you are planning to buy gifts online, plenty of retailers
have discounts and promise to have your gifts on time,
even if you order as late as Monday, including Amazon.com.
CRUSHES:
If you have a crush on someone and want to find out if
that person is also interested in you, check out SecretAdmirer.com.
Basically you let them know anonymously about the crush
-- he or she writes back to the site. If you are one of
the people they hope is interested, then you are matched.
if not, you can take your crush quietly into the night.
Other sites for lonely hearts: Match.com, friendfinder.com
LOVE
POETRY: HarperCollins,
the book publisher, has a neat feature on its site that
let's you compose a personalized love poem to a Valentine.
But if you hate the sight of someone, you can even send
them an anti-valentine's day poem.
LAST-MINUTE
GIFTS: And if you find it's Tuesday or even Wednesday
and you have not gotten your Valentine a gift yet, try
Kozmo.com, the online
delivery service that delivers within an hour in Manhattan
in a dozen major cities. The site has its own Valentine's
section, so you only have to decide how much you want
to spend on your loved one.
