Walmart Blogs Itself

An article that appears in the NY Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/07/technology/07blog.html?_r=1&oref=login) today discusses the fact that Walmart appears to be employing bloggers to post positive comments about the media-challenged company.

And until Walmart figures out why it deserves a lot of this criticism, it will continue to operate in the "point the gun, aim for the foot" method of publicity that it seems to enjoy.

Here's a link to the commentary on Walmart: http://blog.tmcnet.com/walmart-customer-service.asp

Enjoy.
