Walmart Tries to Emulate MySpace

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the trying-way-to-hard dept.

mattsucks writes to tell us that according to AdAge, retail behemoth WalMart is trying desperately to target the MySpace demographic with a new, and highly sanitized, site designed to appeal to teens. From the article: "It's a quasi-social-networking site for teens designed to allow them to 'express their individuality,' yet it screens all content, tells parents their kids have joined and forbids users to e-mail one another. Oh, and it calls users 'hubsters' -- a twist on hipsters that proves just how painfully uncool it is to try to be cool."

    I admit I did not make it clear enough for you fools to understand. The comment I was responding to was "The only acceptable time for "trys" is when you're on the way to "tryst"." which is not true because we already agree that the word 'trys' is acceptable as a plural noun when used in rugby. The poor illiterate sod who said that the plural noun is also 'tries' is totally wrong.

    Thank you all for the poorly constructed posts and also well done to the person who thought that the parent to this post was somehow a karma modifier! Believe all you like, you are still wrong.
