Users Trash Wal-Mart On Its Facebook Site

Posted by kdawson on from the why-are-they-even-here dept.

hhavensteincw writes "Only two weeks after Wal-Mart launched its latest foray into Web 2.0 land, Facebook users have hijacked a page aimed at selling back-to-school supplies to college kids to instead post rants about the company's labor practices. Of the 100-plus comments, none relates to dorm decorating as Wal-Mart had originally envisioned."

    They should go a step further and allow college students to network with the 9 year old children making the products they're buying.

    Their "forway" into Web 2.0? I don't get it. Did he mean four way into Web 2.0? It does look like they're getting f*cked.

    You need one of those ancient "greeters" as gate-keepers on the system. I don't even let people post comments on *my* lowly page without approving them first, how can they be so naive? Would they pay the greeter a decent wage? But seriously, how many would they have to hire to keep up?

    Ugh. Don't mod me up when I screw up spelling and grammar that badly!

    Wal-mart just has cheap socks and asshole management.

    I've heard the older you get, the more you might need asshole management. (I read that sentence wrong.)
