Here is an interesting thing - have you ever seen an advertisement for something, and then seen that it is from a store miles away from you? Well, at krillion.com they have, for instance, flat screen TV's at great prices, and how they do it is by allowing you to shop locally to wherever you are, yet to see the best price for the product you are interested in. It is like doing Internet shopping, but with the ability to go into a local store for the actual purchase once the shopping around has been done. Another thing it can do is to check prices for you in whichever location your relatives might be, in case you want to combine a social visit with picking up a bargain in order to cover the cost of the journey! To do this, they have what they call the Krillion Localization Engine. This does the searching in a manner that is very specific to the product searched for, yet combines your zip code or town name, or even the nearest town name, so the results are not only product specific, but location specific as well. For instance, if you are searching for say, a vizio 42 inch LCD TV, then the search at Krillion will prioritize not only that particular make and size of TV, but also tie it in to your own local area, allowing you to choose a store that suits you, as a purchaser, and will give you the benefit of seeing the product 'live' before buying it.
