...except the study doesn't apply the data from those three categories to the Internet as a whole. In fact, the study--for those who take the time to read it--is quite good.

I agree with Jake... this headline goes exactly opposite of what the study says.

The first line of the page: "The internet plays an important role in how people conduct research for purchases, but it is just one among a variety of sources people use and usually not the key factor in final purchasing decisions."

I just read the Pew article you linked to and you're headline is misleading if not sensationalist. Trying to drive those ads are you?
